“This isn’t the easy way—it’s the right way.”
– Terrez, Gastric Sleeve Patient, March 2024

For decades, weight was constantly on my mind. I used food as a coping mechanism, and over time, it took a toll—not just physically, but emotionally. I kept buying bigger clothes and gradually lost the ability to participate in activities I once loved.

When I decided to get the gastric sleeve in March 2024, I knew it wasn’t a quick fix. But it’s been the best tool I’ve ever used to reset my relationship with food and fitness. Outside of a tough first month, this journey has been nothing short of life-changing. It’s helped me reframe how I care for my body and mind, and I’m truly grateful for this new, healthier way of living.

The support from JourneyLite has been incredible. The doctors and staff are the most accessible and supportive medical team I’ve ever worked with. Even though I paid out of pocket, the experience and care have been worth every penny.

Since losing weight, one of the biggest victories has been rediscovering my ability—and desire—to take on new, rigorous forms of exercise. That freedom alone is priceless.
