Ginger R

Procedure: Gastric Sleeve

I’m not sure that I can remember a time when I wasn’t the “chubby” girl, the “fat kid”, the “overweight lady”. So much time, so much money spent on the newest diet fad, the “special” gym memberships, the new this-or-that….just to be disappointed when it didn’t work and I gained even more weight.

My blood pressure was sky high, as was my cholesterol, and I was at risk for diabetes. My health was bad, and my self-esteem was even worse. I needed help, but didn’t know what to do.

A friend I worked with told me about DFW Bariatrics, as she was a patient scheduled for surgery. I had not considered surgery, and was sure I couldn’t afford something like that. I made the appointment, had my evaluation…..and knew gastric sleeve surgery was not only something I needed to do, but could do….!

It’s been one year, and I’ve never been happier. The doctor and the whole KBI team has given me more than a weight loss tool – I’ve learned how to LIVE! In the past year, I’ve run 22 5k’s, 4 10k’s, I work out several times a week, and I am happier than I’ve ever been! I LOVE my new life!!
