Cameron County, Texas – If you are considering weight loss surgery, then Dr. Angela Lomas, DHR Health bariatric surgeon, invites you to her monthly weight loss support group to learn more about the bariatric journey.
The DHR Health Weight Loss Support Group meets on a monthly basis. At these meetings, Dr. Lomas meets with current bariatric patients in a group setting. Individuals who are interested in weight loss surgery are also invited to connect with other bariatric patients and ask Dr. Lomas questions about bariatric surgery.
At this month’s weight loss support group meeting, which will be held at noon on November 13, 2026, at noon at the DHR Health Brownsville Multispecialty Clinic located at 4770 N. Expressway 77, Suite 303 in Brownsville, DHR Health bariatric patient Sandra V. Cantu will be the guest speaker. She will discuss how bariatric surgery has changed her life for the better. Cantu’s daughter, Jessica Jo Wright, will join her mother to speak on the important role that family support plays in the life of a bariatric patient.
Cantu decided to have bariatric surgery in December 2024 at the age of 70, with her surgery performed by Dr. Manish Singh, DHR Health bariatric surgeon. Cantu’s journey began when she was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia and was referred to general surgeon Dr. Ricardo Martinez for a consultation. Recognizing that losing weight later in life can present additional challenges and taking weight loss medication was not an option due to health concerns, Cantu asked about bariatric surgery and was referred by Dr. Martinez to DHR Health’s Bariatric and Metabolic Institute.
Ultimately, Cantu decided on bariatric surgery in hopes of improving her quality of life.
Almost two years after her surgery, Cantu is proud of the progress she has made as a DHR Health bariatric patient. She credits her family’s encouragement and involvement for helping her stay committed to her new lifestyle. Her family credits their mother with her willingness and determination to be healthy and strong.
Cantu stays on top of her health with daily exercise and by maintaining the dietary recommendations provided by her comprehensive healthcare team at DHR Health Bariatric and Metabolic Institute. Cantu also credits her success to attending regular follow up appointments with her physicians.
Cantu encourages all current DHR Health bariatric patients, as well as those interested in weight loss surgery to attend the support group meeting.
