My Journey with JourneyLite – A Life-Changing Year

My Journey with JourneyLite – A Life-Changing Year

-Becky, Gastric Sleeve – 2024

For most of my life, I was thin—until menopause hit like a freight train and everything changed. No matter what I tried, the weight wouldn’t budge. To make things harder, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I felt stuck, discouraged, and far from the person I used to be.

That all changed a year ago when I made the decision to have bariatric surgery through JourneyLite. One year later, I’ve lost over 60 pounds and—this still feels surreal—I’m completely off my diabetes medication. I feel healthier, stronger, and more like my younger self than I have in years. It’s not just the number on the scale; it’s the energy, the confidence, and the joy that have returned to my life.

The dietitians at JourneyLite were absolutely incredible—supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my success. Today was my final appointment, and I walked out the door feeling not just lighter in body, but lighter in spirit.

If you’re struggling and thinking, “I’ve tried everything,” I want you to know: there is hope. And for me, it started at JourneyLite.
