🌟 Transformation Tuesday: Kelly’s Story 🌟

Meet Kelly, who underwent a sleeve gastrectomy in February 2021 at The Bariatric & Metabolic Center — and since then, she has lost an incredible 178 pounds! 🎉

💪 Non-Scale Victories:
✨ Smaller clothes & more flexibility
✨ Increased energy & stamina
✨ Higher self-esteem and improved confidence

Her most unexpected change? An increase in fertility — she was surprised to become pregnant after surgery, and even more proud that she was able to continue losing weight postpartum.

🔹 Health Improvements:
✅ Lower blood pressure & decreased medications
✅ Relief from sleep apnea & joint pain
✅ Reduced heart disease risk
✅ More energy, less fatigue, improved mood & mental clarity
✅ Stronger relationships and more social confidence

Like many, Kelly’s biggest challenge has been holding herself accountable and maintaining her weight loss, but she continues to thrive and stay focused.
Her advice for others:

💬 Follow the diet plan and commit to a full lifestyle change. This is not temporary; it’s a lifelong commitment. That’s where success comes from.

Kelly has no regrets and recommends bariatric surgery to others who are struggling. For her, this has been the key to living a happier, healthier, and higher quality of life.

🎯 Next Goals: Maintain her weight loss, continue a healthy lifestyle, and help others on their own weight loss journeys.

🌟 Transformation Tuesday: Joe’s Life-Saving Journey 🌟

Please help us celebrate Joe, who is on an incredible journey after undergoing gastric bypass surgery in June 2024 through The Bariatric & Metabolic Center in Douglas, GA.

Joe has already lost over 240 pounds and is still going strong! 💪

🔹 Life-Changing Improvements:
✅ Breathing has improved – something he once struggled with daily
✅ More energy, stamina, and flexibility
✅ Less joint pain and fatigue
✅ Better sleep and improved sleep apnea
✅ Decreased blood pressure medications
✅ Boosted confidence and ability to enjoy everyday life

Before surgery, Joe lacked the stamina and self-confidence to do simple things like walking into a store. He felt certain he was on a path to an early death and doubted he’d even make it to 40. Today, he’s living life fully and actively, with a renewed sense of purpose and energy.

Joe has no regrets and encourages others to take that first step: He believes this surgery saved his life. His family is proud of him and most importantly he is proud of himself!

He’s still working through old habits — like fixing large portions out of routine — but stays mindful by using smaller plates at home. His journey is proof that with the right support and determination, transformation is possible.

Let’s cheer Joe on in the comments with a 💙 or 👏 as he continues toward his next milestone!

🍽️ Eating Out Happens — Let’s Make It Healthier 🚗

We always recommend choosing nutritious, homemade meals when possible — they give you more control over ingredients, portions, and overall health.
But we also understand that life gets busy. Between work, travel, and family responsibilities, sometimes eating out is the only option — and that’s okay!
Here’s the good news: You can make healthier choices, even when dining out. 🙌

✅ Tips for Smarter Choices When Eating Out:
• Go grilled, not fried – Opt for grilled proteins over breaded or deep-fried
• Watch portions – Consider a half-portion, share a meal, or take half to go
• Swap the sides – Choose a side salad, steamed veggies, or fruit instead of fries
• Limit the extras – Ask for no cheese, bacon, or creamy sauces
• Skip the bread – Choose lettuce wraps or go bun-free when possible
• Drink wisely – Stick with water, unsweet tea, or sugar-free drinks

🍴 Examples of Better-For-You Orders:
• Grilled chicken with veggies at a sit-down restaurant
• Burger without the bun and a side salad
• Protein-style tacos or burrito bowl with extra veggies, no rice
• Salad with lean protein and dressing on the side

Remember, progress, not perfection. Eating out doesn’t have to derail your health goals — just be mindful, plan ahead, and make the best choices available to you.
Need support with nutrition strategies that work in real life?

💛 Happiness Isn’t a Number on the Scale 💛

It’s not about the digits you see when you step on the scale.
True happiness comes from having the confidence to show up, the energy to keep going, and the stamina to make memories with the people you love most.

And here’s the truth:
Weight loss can boost all of these things — your confidence, energy, and physical ability — which in turn can elevate your mood and your overall sense of joy.

Whether it’s chasing your kids around the yard, dancing at a wedding, or taking that dream trip — your quality of life matters more than any number. At The Bariatric and Metabolic Center in Douglas, GA, we focus on whole health — not just pounds lost.

We’re here to help you reclaim your health so you can live fully, love deeply, and feel your best.

Wondering If Your Insurance Covers Bariatric Surgery? Here’s How to Find Out

Before beginning your bariatric surgery journey, it’s essential to verify whether your insurance plan includes coverage and understand the criteria required for approval.
We understand that some of you may feel comfortable completing this step on your own. However, if you'd prefer, our office would be more than happy to complete this step for you. Just give us a call and we’ll guide you through it.

Here’s how to check your insurance benefits:
📞 STEP 1: Call Your Insurance Provider
Use the customer service number on the back of your insurance card.

🗣️ STEP 2: Ask the Right Questions
Let the representative know you are interested in bariatric surgery and ask if the service is covered under your plan. They may ask for procedure codes. Our surgeons perform:
• Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass – CPT 43644
• Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy – CPT 43775

✅ STEP 3: If They Say It’s Covered or “Medically Necessary,” Ask These Questions:
1. What are the BMI requirements for surgery?
2. Should I have weight-related medical conditions (comorbidities) to qualify?
Note: If your BMI is between 35–39.9 and you do not have a comorbid condition, you likely will not qualify.
3. Do I have to complete a supervised diet? If yes, for how long? (How many visits/months?)
4. Can you provide me with a checklist of all bariatric surgery requirements?

❌ STEP 4: If They Say It's Not Covered
This likely means your employer chose not to include bariatric surgery as a benefit. In this case:
• Contact our office to discuss self-pay options
• Speak with your HR department to see if they’d consider adding this benefit or making an exception for you

💬 Still have questions? We’re here to help! Whether you want to verify your benefits yourself or have us handle it for you, we’re happy to support you every step of the way.
