Rebecca’s Journey: From Exhaustion to Empowered
Before my gastric sleeve surgery in March 2023, I weighed nearly 300 pounds. I was constantly tired, battling daily knee and back pain after three knee surgeries, and I could barely keep up with my three kids. Even simple outings felt overwhelming. I avoided public places, feeling ashamed and stuck in a body that held me back from truly living.
That all changed when I made the decision to have surgery with JourneyLite—and it’s a decision I would make a million times over.
Now, I weigh 161.7 pounds and live a completely different life. I hit the gym three days a week, jog without pain, and go biking, kayaking, swimming, and walking with my kids. I don’t just keep up with them—I lead the charge! My knee pain is completely gone, and my energy levels are off the charts.
The support I received from JourneyLite made all the difference. Chelsea, the NP, has been phenomenal—always kind, knowledgeable, and supportive. No question ever felt too small. The dietitians were there every step of the way, especially when my weight loss plateaued. They truly care, and it shows.
The best part? I’m finally the active, present mom I always wanted to be. I have my life back—and it’s better than I ever imagined.
