Tell us in your own words how your weight has affected your life:
When I was 18 I was diagnosed with PCOS. I gained a lot of weight very fast and I tried every diet and exercise plan and nothing worked. I was miserable in my own skin and very self-conscious. I didn’t want to go do anything fun because I was so miserable.

Tell us how surgery has helped you get control of your weight issues:
I had the gastric sleeve in November of 2024. The surgery changed my life, I’m so much more happier, I have so much energy and I can do so much more activities with my toddlers! November 18th changed my life and my family’s life. I’m so grateful for Dr. Curry and his staff!

Tell us about the support you have received from the team at JourneyLite and how it has impacted your success:
I have so much support! I know if I have a question or if I need anything JourneyLite is a text or phone call away. Every month on my surgery anniversary date Dr. Curry texts me and asked me how I’m doing and if I need anything? I have never had a doctor do that month after month. Just about every month I have an appointment with either the dietitian or a NP to see how I’m doing and if I need anything. It’s great knowing that I have support behind me through this journey!

What’s one thing you can do now that you couldn’t before you lost the weight:
I can run around and play with my kids without getting winded and tired! This past weekend we went to Tennessee for my husband’s birthday and we ran from the time we got up until midnight! I was never winded and I never got overheated like I used to!

Optional Comments:
I just want to thank Dr. Curry and his staff for taking phenomenal care of me. I live 3.5 hours away so my appointments were virtual until my surgery day. When I walked through the doors they treated me so well and they were very kind! I would do it all over again, I have a couple of friends who used a local hospital but I have noticed a big difference between JourneyLite and the other places. JourneyLite gives you so much support and they treat me like family. I 100% recommend Dr. Curry and his staff!
