Procedure: Gastric Sleeve
I ran a 5K and a 10K. Running is something I NEVER thought I would enjoy, and now I love it. I see it more of a stress reliever more than anything. I am so much more confident In both my personal and professional life. I am able to cross my legs now, which is something I couldn’t do before.
Before surgery, I didn’t like to go out. I felt ugly and nothing ever fit the way it was supposed to in my mind. I was very close to becoming a diabetic. I couldn’t even walk for a good amount of time before getting tired. I’m a nurse and felt like I couldn’t do compressions correctly because I got tired extremely quickly.
I had not really thought of weight loss surgery until I saw how good a former nursing classmate of mine looked. So I asked how she lost the weight and she told me she had surgery. I started to look into it, and found Bariatric Experts through my insurance website.
I felt very comfortable with The Bariatric Experts team from the beginning. I like how employees have received the surgery and can understand how it felt being the patient.
