Non-scale victories are so important. The scale can easily hijack a good day and turn it into a bad one.

Bariatric patients often lose an impressive amount of weight quickly after the surgery, especially in the beginning of the journey. This quick weight loss can cause some obsession over the numbers on the scale, which then can lead to disappointment as weight loss naturally slows down the further out you get from surgery.

However, the scale is not the only indicator of successful lifestyle change on a weight loss journey! Check out these 7 non-scale victories.

Procedure: Gastric Sleeve
Total Weight Lost: 80
Surgery Date: 07/29/2020
Comorbidities: IBS, Chronic Fatigue

“The gastric sleeve procedure reversed my IBS symptoms and greatly reduced my chronic fatigue and hip/knee pain. I highly recommend Dr. Doucette and his team at Alabama Surgical Associates. They warned me of a few things post op that proved to be true. The first thirty days of liquid dieting is tough, hair loss is normal, acid reflux is possible and be sure to take the suggested supplements. My hair severely thinned, but after a year it began to grow back. Acid reflux was mild and only at night while lying down. Two years later, the reflux is completely gone. My starting weight was 235lbs. I lost 80lbs. over one year and have kept it off. I have more energy and love being a clothing size 6 (starting size was 14/16).

My only regret is waiting until age 48 to have the procedure.“

Procedure: Gastric Sleeve
Total Weight Lost: 56
Surgery Date: 08/14/2023
The biggest issue for me prior to having weight loss surgery was my self esteem. I did not have medical issues but I did not like myself at all. I wanted to be able to look in the mirror and like myself and I didn’t.

I have thought about it for years. I seriously considered it for about 9 months. I went in for a consultation and left thinking there is no way I can do this. There are too many restrictions and changes. Eventually 9 months later I was still feeling the same way and hated the way I looked so I went back in for another consultation and thought to myself “I can do this”.

Working with you guys has been nothing but a good experience. The staff at the front is very helpful, the dieticians are great, and most of all Dr. Doucette is very reassuring and made me feel very comfortable with my decision.

I love getting dressed to go out now. I do not dread picking out a million different outfits before I find something I was just like “ok this is fine, I don’t feel terrible in it but still not great”. Now I get excited to put clothes on because I just feel good about myself. I also have more energy and I am not so focused on food like I was before. I eat when I am hungry and then thats it. Even the small amount of food is satisfying.
