About C2LBC



Choose 2 Lose Bariatric Center is owned & operated by Robin Zinaman & Lisa Megna -- two lovely ladies who have taken the ride to what is fondly known in WLS (weight loss surgery) circles as 'the other side' - both having undergone gastric bypass RNY surgery in 2005. Throughout their lives, both Robin & Lisa have suffered through numerous medical conditions, most of which were a direct result of obesity. Robin & Lisa are finding physical health and wholeness as well as emotional freedom as they continue their WLS journey. To date, Robin & Lisa have collectively lost over 350lbs!
