From the first appointment , Gloria knew that “ Dr Guru is very caring , attentive , and humble - humble because at that moment , she as surgeon , was so willing to help someone like me , who felt like a nobody .” Before going into surgery Dr . Guru asked Gloria if she was ready . “ I just started crying and told her thank you because you cannot imagine what this means for me and my family ,” recalls Gloria .
Gloria and Carlos speak about the difference in her life after surgery with one word – “ freedom .” Dr . Guru shared with GB Magazine , “ Project Access patients are so grateful after the surgery . They have gone through so much pain , exhaustion and anemia , that they feel amazing after the surgery and are beyond thankful after their recovery .” Gloria says , “ There is a huge weight lifted off us , I can stand up , I can do things , I can play with my grandkids , I have more energy !”
