My surgeon Dr. Hazem Shamseddeen, MD, nurse Sherry Ge, NP, and all the other dietitians,…read morenutritionist and medical practitioners that assisted me over the past 9 months leading up to my bariatric sleeve surgery were excellent. The entire team does a fantastic job, and I recommend them to anyone seeking this type of procedure. Over several months of visits they prepped me, taught me all about healthy foods, exercise, and how this surgery would change my life. They made me feel at ease, with no questions left unanswered. They accept a variety of insurance types, and were always able to get my appointments in the afternoons, as I prefer them to be. Getting closer to the surgery date my mind naturally began to get some anxiety and I was having about a 20% thought of not having the surgery. After talking to several others who had this surgery, the surgeon, other doctors and nurses, my mind was set and committed 100% to doing it. Now, 6 weeks post surgery, I am doing great, I have lost 60lbs in 6 weeks, and am not hungry at all, and sticking to my eating regimen, and all is going perfect for me concerning this operation. Even now when I go out with friends and family to restaurants and see all the yummy items on the menu and watch them eat in front of me, although the steaks, burgers, seafood, and other items look so tasty, I stick to my plan, and am not tempted at all. Although it might be about 1 year before I can again partake in eating the many foods that I did love, my current eating plan now satisfies my previously insatiable carnivorous hunger cravings. It is just as many others I spoke to that have had this same surgery all had one statement in common, which I now better understand and 100% agree with; "This surgery changed and saved my life." Soon I will post new photos of myself and some of my adventures on Yelp, and all of you will see the huge impact this has made on me when you compare my before and after photos. Huge thanks to this great team of medical professionals who helped turn my life into a more healthy and enjoyable life!

These classes include zumba, boxing, yoga, bootcamp, weights, etc. They also have a wide range of exercising machines and equipment and there are employees present and ready to assist with you. There are also limited time programs throughout the year that often come with membership or an additional cost. This includes training for a Deka mile, triathalon, 5k, etc. With membership, you also get access to IUI'S olympic sized swimming pool. There are clean showers and a sauna available too. The employees are always so helpful and encouraging and will work with you to crush your firness goals. You can check out the facilities by getting a 7 day free trial.

This is where to go if you're way over weight, such as morbidly obese, and considering bariatric…read moresurgery. After trying all types of other weight loss programs, and none working long term, bariatric sleeve might be the last resort option you want to use. Some insurances will cover the cost of this surgery, or at least part of it, as being obese is now considered to be like many other diseases or health issues. Obesity can lead to many other health issues such as diabetes, edema, sleep apnea, heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, back pain, joint pain, loss of breath, lack of energy, depression, loss of quality of life, and other issues. Although this may seem like an elective surgery, for some it can be a life saving necessary surgery, and society is just beginning to see obesity as a major health issue that leads to many other issues and that needs to be over come just like any other detrimental health issue. When going here you will meet with a nurse for a consultation and they will take all your vitals and have your blood drawn across the hallway for more extensive examination. You will also meet with a dietitian who will go over your eating habits, and explain to you what you need to eat and the portion size of it. These are both about 20-30 minute meetings. Then you will meet with a psychiatrist for 2-3 hours, after you take a long extensive multiple choice exam, which gives the psychiatrist a look into your behaviors, and to see if you would be a good candidate for bariatric surgery. As the success rate for keeping the weight off may be in the 80-90% range, I am not certain. This surgery is not a cure all or permanent fix. The patient still must follow guidelines and make a life style change in eating habits and exercising for the results to remain permanent forever. If you have tried all other options to lose and keep the weight off, but they have all failed, this may be an option for you.

They offered 24/7 access to the facility, by way of going through the Anytime Fitness that is located next door to them. This was key for me because my schedule didn't line up with their class schedule, but I could go and do the posted workouts at anytime! Even better, there was always a coach available that I could get clarification for movements that I wasn't familiar with. They program for crossfit, AFL (Advanced Fat Loss), Strength, and Physique training! I loved the different workout options and their program is definitely a challenge, but like any program, it's adjustable. I think this helps to maintain a positive, non-judgmental atmosphere because you're all there for a similar reason but you're probably all participating in different programs. They have an incredible staff of coaches. Everyone is friendly, helpful, and they truly know their movements. Noah, Anthony, and Jesse were super helpful and friendly with their feedback. These guys won't steer you wrong, regardless of the programming you participate in. The facility is clean and well maintained. If you need help with nutrition, they work with a Registered Dietitian who can help and they work with a meal prep and delivery service. Y'all, this place makes getting in shape a breeze. They have every service you need. Moreover, all of the staff and members that I came in contact with, were fantastic people. I'll definitely be dropping in when I come back to town and I'd recommend that you do too! Thank you, RZ1!

My wife and I were basically excluded from here treatment plan and treated like the problem. My daughter has an eating disorder, but she as always been obedient. She has never told me "No" until we were on a conference call with her and her therapist at Selah. Never. In the end, Selah told us she had to leave because she needed a higher level of care after 40 days. The communication was absolutely terrible. Getting someone on the phone, besides the receptionist in the business office, was nearly impossible. We were outright lied to a number of times by staff. Her therapist would not even reliably relay messages from us to our daughter when we asked. Amos, the CEO, quite nearly refused to find out our daughters current weight even after a heated exchange. He acted like we were not qualified to know. I had two interactions with Amos and both were like dealing with a sales manager at a car lot. No straight answers. Manipulative. Frustrating. He did not address our concerns to our satisfaction. My advice: Unless your daughter is 100% on board with recovery, go somewhere else. This place is for the easy cases. Also, Selah House is basically in a subdivision, not out in the country the way they would have you believe.
