I abused food and my body until I was at the highest weight in my life. My weight caused me to be on more meds than I care to admit. So, in December 2018, I made the decision to have weight loss surgery.
After discussing my options with Dr. LeGrand, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery done. I knew that it was going to be hard work. I would have to put in the work with proper nutrition and exercise. I have been very pleased with my results. I lost 138 pounds and feel very blessed.
I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic and had high blood pressure. I was becoming miserable in my own skin. I decided it was time for a change. It was time to take my life back.
Like so many other people, I struggled with my weight my entire life. I tried lots of different diets and exercise programs but nothing ever seemed to work for me. On February 2, 2015, I finally had weight loss surgery. My life was forever changed. In just 12 months, I looked like a totally different person. I get around so much better now, and my self-esteem is through the roof. I can't thank Dr. Legrand and his staff enough for their help and guidance.
