"A little over a year ago, my life was terrible. I know that sounds harsh, but it’s the truth. At my highest weight of 344 lbs, every movement was excruciating. My knees hurt so badly I couldn’t stand for more than two minutes. I literally could not get out of a recliner by myself. I was trapped by my own body and staring down a future of diabetes.
I tried the medications, but I knew I needed a permanent tool. That’s when I chose Gastric Sleeve surgery with the amazing team at JourneyLite Physicians.
And just look at me today! ⬇️
Since May 2024, I’ve lost 182 lbs and I have regained my entire LIFE. The chronic pain is GONE. No more high blood pressure. I don’t just walk quickly now—I RUN MARATHONS! 🏃♀️💨
I run up the steps, play sports, and exercise every single day with no pain and no shortness of breath. It is totally amazing.
To my surgeon, Dr. Trace Curry, and the wonderful dietitians and staff who checked in on me constantly: Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This journey was worth every penny.
If you are struggling like I was, please know there is hope. I am proud to be one of JourneyLite’s success stories. This is my 'forever' change, and you can have yours, too! ❤️
