May 22, 2025
Neal Cook’s decision to undergo surgery through GBMC’s Comprehensive Obesity Management Program (COMP) was all about one goal: to be healthy.
Since his surgery on April 11, 2023, Neal says it simply and powerfully—“It has been awesome.”
With his health improving, Neal is now able to do so many things he couldn’t do before. Whether it’s moving more freely, enjoying life with less discomfort, or tackling daily activities with new energy, the impact is clear.
