Way to go, Jonathan! 🙌

“I’m no longer just wishing for change—I am the change.” – Jonathan, bariatric patient.

For Jonathan, the biggest transformation was equally as internal as it was physical. Every choice he makes now reflects strength, resilience, and self-love. His journey is proof that non-scale victories matter just as much as the number on the scale.

Whether it's feeling more confident, embracing a healthier lifestyle, or simply believing in yourself again, bariatric surgery can be the first step toward lasting change. Ready to take that step?

Congratulations, Ron! We are proud of all your wonderful progress!

After bariatric surgery at Mount Carmel, Ronald didn’t just lose weight. He gained back experiences, confidence, and memories that will last a lifetime.

"On my honeymoon 4 years ago, I couldn't fit in one ride I really wanted to ride because I was too big. This past June I went with my oldest son for his 20th birthday, and I was able to fit perfectly and finally got to ride the ride! I had tears falling the whole time I was riding because the hard work paid off!”

That’s what transformation looks like.
