WORTH IT

Dr. Niam is Wonderful he help me alot. I was scaed due to two stokes. He was positive and made me feel comfortable. He and his staff are great and i enjoy going each year for my follow up. Now my health is better and can go shopping without worries if the clothes fits. I wore 4x and now im in a medium or large depending who is the maker, but good to just walk in a store and know it will fit. 76lbs lost is a great transformation and keeping it off. I have referred others snd they look great!!!

Hi. So happy to hear you have kept the weight off. Most stories I hear is that they gained again. I'm 1 1/2 years out and feel i could easily gain weight back. How do you do it to keep it off?

I had my sleeve in 2015. I’m down 90 lbs today. I was as low as -125 lbs. It’s a fight. I would say for success you need to make real changes. Exercise. Not graze all day. Not drinking your calories. It’s a tool but you can gain it back. In my experience the people that are focused and almost hyper vigilant keep it off. If you’re not you’ll slowly be back where you started. I weigh daily. Don’t let my self go completely. I have a friend that had surgery like me and she’s successful and thinks the same. Everyone else I know that hall asses it is back more than before 4-5 years out.
