/EINPresswire.com/ Obesity is not just an image problem but a serious health issue
Dr. Milt Owens, well known bariatric surgeon and director of Coastal Center for Obesity recently released a new video with Paco Galvez, popular Latin radio and television personality. The video is trending due to the relevance of his struggle with weight, one that is experienced by so many young people today. Although Paco was a happy and successful young adult, he realized early on that he needed to address his obesity and his concern about the related diseases that were starting to affect him. Like so many, he tried dieting and exercise but found that each effort produced initial weight loss only to quickly regain and add a few more pounds with each attempt. Paco’s success story is not only one of weight loss, but of a long term change for the better in both his health and career.
“As I got older, I started to feel the results of my uncontrolled obesity. I felt it was completely ‘out of control’ and I needed to do something.”
Paco searched the internet for someone with the experience and results he could trust. He found Dr. Owens and discovered that it was possible to have it all; happiness, success and health. In the video, Paco talks about his journey and the good health he is enjoying due to acting on his problems early in life, and in the end curing his obesity related diseases.
