I am proud to once again lead Team Lose to Win in the 2025 American Heart Association Heart Walk! As a bariatric and advanced GI surgeon, I see every day how obesity and heart health are deeply connected-and how even small steps toward weight loss can lead to life-changing improvements in overall health.
Our team is made up of bariatric and obesity medicine specialists, staff, and most importantly, our incredible patients-individuals who are taking charge of their health, fighting for a stronger future, and proving that transformation is possible. We walk to celebrate their victories, to inspire others, and to support the fight against heart disease, the leading cause of death in the U.S.
This walk is about more than just raising awareness-it's about empowering people to take action. By supporting the American Heart Association, we are helping fund life-saving research, education, and resources that change lives.
Join me in this mission. Walk with us, donate, or simply help spread the message: when we lose the weight, we win at life.
