Jamie’s gastric sleeve (VSG) before and after testimonial

“November 18th changed my life—and my family’s.”

Before my gastric sleeve surgery in November 2024, I felt completely defeated. At just 18, I was diagnosed with PCOS and gained weight rapidly. Despite trying countless diets and workout plans, nothing worked. At 265 pounds, I was miserable in my own skin, constantly self-conscious, and missing out on the joys of life—especially time with my kids.

Since surgery, everything has changed. I’m now 176 pounds, full of energy, and finally able to keep up with my toddlers. Just last weekend, we celebrated my husband’s birthday in Tennessee, and I ran around with my family all day without getting winded or overheated. That would’ve been impossible just a year ago.

The support from Dr. Curry and the JourneyLite team has been nothing short of amazing. Despite living 3.5 hours away, they made virtual appointments seamless. From the moment I walked in for surgery, I was treated with care and kindness. Dr. Curry personally checks in with me every month on my surgery anniversary—something no other doctor has ever done. Between those check-ins and regular follow-ups with the dietitian or nurse practitioner, I’ve felt supported every step of the way.

JourneyLite didn’t just perform a surgery—they gave me my life back. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat, and I 100% recommend Dr. Curry and his incredible team. They don’t just treat you like a patient—they treat you like family.
