“For the first time in years, I feel good in my own skin.”
– Kristy, Gastric Sleeve Patient, March 2024
After having kids, life became a constant juggle. I was a new nurse working full-time—and picking up extra shifts just to make ends meet. Like many moms, I put everyone else first, and my health slowly took a back seat. I tried everything to lose weight. I’d have small wins, but they never lasted. The cycle was exhausting.
In March 2024, I chose to have gastric sleeve surgery—and it has been the turning point I desperately needed. I’ve lost 40 pounds in just three months. The difference? I now feel full, satisfied, and in control. I can still enjoy food, but I make better choices, and I stop eating when I’ve had enough. That one change has made all the difference.
The support from JourneyLite has been incredible. Whether it’s a text, call, or follow-up appointment, I know I’m never alone. Dr. Curry checks in personally, and I’ve had regular, helpful contact with both the nutritionist and nurse practitioner.
Today, I have energy. I have motivation. I feel healthy, strong, and confident—and I know I’m on the right path to not just lose the weight, but keep it off for good.
