My Gastric Sleeve Surgery Was the Best Thing I’ve Ever Done!

I can buy clothes ANYWHERE!

My life has changed for the better in countless ways since having weight loss surgery!

The dieticians, nurse practioners and my doctor Dr.Curry have been amazing!

So in December 2021 at nearly 205lbs I had a gastric sleeve. Best. Decision. Ever.

Having a smaller stomach capacity has allowed me to gain greater control over my emotional eating.

I started gaining weight after having my children. Life was very stressful.

I had tried every diet imaginable. Nothing worked!

For me, it was the best decision I ever made, I should have done it years ago.

Being morbidly obsessed affected me negatively as a child, teenager & adult.

When I came to Journeylite, I was desperate for help. I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I felt like if I did not take control, I was literally going to die.

I couldn’t dance in public! Lol…now I’m the 1st and sometimes only person on the dance floor!

The surgery has literally been life changing!

Everyone on the team at JourneyLite is amazing from the front desk, nurses, dietician and Dr. Curry!

I have been the ‘fat’ kid my entire life and really thought it was just the life I had to live.
