The Story of Angel Cardenas: A Mission to Save Lives
Angel Cardenas, the President and Co-Founder of Universal Medical Group, is a man driven by a personal mission to change lives. His story is one of transformation, resilience, and a relentless commitment to helping others achieve and regain the health they deserve.
As a successful entrepreneur, Angel excelled in his career, but his health was a different story. Weighing 350 pounds, and he faced many health challenges that went beyond the scale. His cholesterol skyrocketed, and he suffered from high blood pressure, diabetes, and cardiac problems. As a father, he struggled with the inability to play with his children, feeling the weight of both his physical condition and the emotional toll it took on his family.
Despite his business success, Angel knew he had to make a drastic change in his life. He immersed himself in learning everything about bariatric surgery, becoming almost an expert in the field. Determined to reclaim his health, he made the life-altering decision to undergo the bariatric sleeve procedure. In just 30 days, he lost nearly 50 pounds, and today, he proudly weighs 160 pounds, living with an extraordinary quality life of health and happiness.
This transformation went far beyond the physical. Angel’s relationship with food completely changed, and the newfound energy he gained allowed him to excel in all areas of his life—personally and professionally. No longer burdened by health issues like high cholesterol, diabetes, or cardiac concerns, he is now healthier, more active, and more energized than ever before.
Angel’s journey inspired him to share his knowledge and experience with others. His mission became clear: to help people facing similar struggles transform their lives. Through Universal Medical Group, Angel invests in saving lives, offering affordable and accessible solutions for those who, like him, once thought they had no other options available to them. Today, he recommends bariatric surgery to anyone in need of this procedure, confident that it can lead to the same life-changing results he has experienced.
Angel Cardenas isn’t just an owner leader of UMG—he is its heart. His personal journey serves as an inspiration to thousands, proving that with the right support, anyone can reclaim their health and live the vibrant life they deserve.
