“I feel beautiful again—and unstoppable.”
– Meagan, Gastric Sleeve Patient, October 2023
At 422 pounds, everyday life felt like a struggle. My back hurt after walking short distances, and I was down to just one or two shirts I felt comfortable wearing in public. I avoided going out, felt invisible, and battled deep depression. I no longer felt beautiful—or like myself.
Since having gastric sleeve surgery in October 2023, my life has transformed. I’ve lost 140 pounds and gained something even more important: confidence. My face has changed, my clothes fit better, and I’m no longer dreading the world—I’m embracing it. I can fit comfortably into seats at restaurants, and I even rode my first rollercoaster in 10 years—without worrying whether I’d fit.
The JourneyLite team has been a lifeline. Dr. Curry, the nurse practitioners, and dietitians have cheered me on at every step. When I hit a plateau, they didn’t shame me—they encouraged me, reminded me this was normal, and celebrated how far I’ve come. That support made all the difference.
Now? I go to the gym for 90 minutes—cardio and weights. I feel strong, proud, and like myself again.
To anyone struggling: don’t wait. You are worth this journey. You are worth feeling good again.
