My experience was amazing. The entire staff is welcoming, understanding, and kind. They made the entire experience easy and made sure that I understood everything that was happening along the way.
I liked that everything was so organized and easy to follow. There really is no confusion or feeling of not being involved in the process. There are constant check-ins and plans to follow starting from day one. And it doesn’t stop once you get surgery. You have the staff and all of their resources available to you after surgery as well.
l used to be very active and athletic. My weight gain not only prevented me physically from doing the things that I used to enjoy, it also made me feel self-conscious because I didn’t want to be the “fat girl” in situations. I am back to being able to enjoy working out, riding bikes with my husband and son, and just enjoying a more active lifestyle without feeling held back physically, or mentally.
As much as this is a hard, personal decision to make, whatever reason leads anyone to surgery, if you take it seriously, and put in the work it is worth it. It is the single best thing that I have ever done for myself, and I only wish I had admitted that I needed help sooner.
