Procedure: Gastric Sleeve*
Total Weight Loss: 107 pounds

*Results may vary

“I’ve been overweight my whole life. Not just overweight, but obese. In 2015 I weighed 345 pounds. That was the biggest I had ever been = morbidly obese. My mom had a fatty liver which progressed to Stage 4 Liver Disease in 2016 due to being overweight her whole life and not taking care of herself. August 2017 I watched my mom die. She had health problems due to gaining weight and smoking. I don’t smoke, but I had weighed so much more than her for so long, I knew it would only be a matter of time and I would end up the fatty liver/cirrhosis of the liver. So after much consideration between my husband and myself, we decided to go to Dr. Snow’s seminar to learn more, to learn the pros and cons, etc. 10/02/2017 I had the gastric sleeve and it was THE BEST decision for my life and my families life! I never want my husband and my son to watch me go through everything I watched my mom go through! Some people think having a gastric sleeve is the easy way out or “cheating.” It is NOT! You do have to have discipline but it’s easier than doing it alone. Saving your life is NOT cheating!! It’s been a little over two years now since I had the procedure and I have not once regretted it!!”
