Creating Hope: Niurys’ Story

Dr. Werner Andrade and Niurys Santana

My name is Niurys Santana and I had the gastric sleeve procedure. I would recommend this surgery to anyone. Today, I feel so happy.  All went perfect.  I have lost almost 100 lbs. in just one year. Today, I feel like I was just 15-years-old again.

My primary care physician recommended Dr. Andrade.  I had several health problems including high blood sugar. I had problems with my liver and other body health issues.  I recommend Dr. Andrade to anyone who wants this surgery because Dr. Andrade is a great physician.

Dr. Andrade speaks to his patients with sincerity and will tell you the truth. He will tell you if you truly need bariatric surgery.  I needed the surgery because my blood sugar level was very high. Dr. Andrade performed the gastric sleeve procedure on me along with surgery on my gallbladder at the same time. 

The process was fast.  Recuperation after my surgery was perfect, fast and I felt no pain. If you follow what Dr. Andrade recommends you will be a new person.  I tell you from my heart, this surgery is real easy especially if you do the recommended exercises and follow the instructions of the nutritionist and Dr. Andrade.  I recommend this surgery for anyone who needs it and it is nothing out of this world. 

It was a fast process for me, a process that in less than one year I have seen a change in my body.  My life has changed. I have to have a positive attitude.  If you really want this surgery you can do it.  It was a perfect surgery for me. 

My gallbladder was not functioning well.  I was not feeling well, suffering with stomach aches, very bad migraine headaches, problems that I no longer have. Today, I feel liberated from all the health issues I had. This surgery was the best thing to ever happen to me!

I have so much more energy than I did before the surgery.  Before, I felt so tired and had pain all over my body. I had no motivation.  Now I feel like I want to live more!  I am a new person.  I am a new Niurys. I am happy and I recommend the gastric sleeve surgery.  It was the best thing that could happen to me.

Legacy Left by Longtime Miami Resident Roz Soltz

Roslyn Soltz
Roslyn Soltz

The Life of Roslyn Soltz (known as Roz, Rozzie, Mom, Savta, Zionist), November 26, 1927-December 17, 2018.

Roz Soltz was a leader. She was a leader with her family, in her community in Miami (Roz moved from Brooklyn to Miami at the age of 18), in her community in Israel and in her heart.  Roz had a huge open heart, an open mind and an open home.  Roz was a Woman of Valor.  Roz was married in 1948 to her loving late husband Gerry.  Roz was a mother to Alyssa (Roger) Friedland, Howard (Terry) Soltz, Lesly (Ellie Goldman) Diaz and pre-deceased daughter Bonnie Soltz. Roz was a grandmother to nine and a great-grandmother to seven. 

Born in New Jersey on November 26, 1927, Roz attended Brooklyn College and transferred to University of Miami where she graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree Cum Laude.  Roz attended the University of Havana where she became fluent in Spanish and used it a great deal. 

Roz worked in the travel business for more than 35 years and travelled the world with Gerry.

Roz also spoke Hebrew.  She and her family made Aliyah to Israel in 1971 and returned in 1974 to Miami due to economic reasons.  When she and Gerry retired more than 20 years ago, they moved back to Israel where her daughter Alyssa and Alyssa’s family were living.  Roz’s grandfather Chaim was an ardent Zionist and so was Roz. 

Roz was involved in Jr. Hadassah, Hadassah, B’nai Brith, Technion and the family was long-time members of Beth David Congregation.  Roz served as President of the Florida Region of Hadassah and served on the National Board of Hadassah. While living in Jerusalem, she was elected to the Executive Board of Hadassah Israel and was a member of Hadassah International and was on their steering committee.  Roz was active in the Masorti Congregation Ramot Zion in French Hill, Jerusalem.  She was Chairwoman of AACI Jerusalem Region and on their National Seniors Board. 

Roz inspired many in her life.  She was a founder of Hadassah’s Camp Judaea in Hendersonville, North Carolina.  Donations can be made to the Scholarship Fund at Camp Judaea, 1440 Spring Street NW, Atlanta, GA 30309.   https://app.etapestry.com/onlineforms/CampJudaea/RozSoltz.html
