Tell us in your own words how your weight has affected your life:
Before weight loss I was tired, lazy, and just sitting around at home doing nothing. I can now enjoy life so much better. It truly is life changing. I can talk long walks, go up and down stairs with no issues and overall, the best thing is my overall health is better than it’s ever been.
Tell us how surgery, balloon, or medication has helped you get control of your weight issues:
The staff thoroughly goes over your weight loss plan and the dietitian and doctors help you along the way. The aftercare is incredible with follow ups and suggestions. I like the fact that you have to go meet with them monthly after surgery. It helps keep you accountable and if you get off track that’s okay, they are there to guide you back to the original plan.
Tell us about the support you have received from the team at JourneyLite and how it has impacted your success:
All through my process the Staff and doctors were extremely helpful and nice. They guided me through the process with ease. They are all touch notch in their field.
What’s one thing you can do now that you couldn’t before you lost the weight:
I can take walks with ease and do things that I wouldn’t be able to do without this life changing surgery. Plane rides, roller coasters, water parks, pool days, trips are so much more enjoyable!
Optional Comments:
For me, it was the best decision I ever made, I should have done it years ago. It’s truly life changing but maintainable and you have to work at it! It’s not easy but so worth it!
