“I would get this surgery over and over again if I had to. It changed my life—as an individual, a wife, and a mother.”
I’m Chrissy. I noticed my weight becoming a problem back in middle school. I was picked on, and over time I started to believe the worst things people said about me. I carried that into adulthood, trying one fix after another and never finding real, lasting change.
In February 2024, I chose a gastric sleeve with Dr. Trace Curry at JourneyLite Surgery Center—and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. Since surgery, I’ve lost 115 pounds and, even more importantly, I’ve gained a healthy relationship with food and a new level of respect for myself. For the first time, I can say with confidence: I love myself.
The JourneyLite team has been incredible—there for every question before and after surgery, guiding me through each stage so I never felt alone. Their support helped me build sustainable habits and keep going on hard days.
What can I do now that I couldn’t before? I move through life with confidence. I show up fully for my family. I feel proud of the woman I am becoming. This isn’t just weight loss—it’s a whole-life transformation.
