Patient's feedback

As far as weight goes, I am maintaining. I have lost about 20 more pounds in a year which has brought me down to 200 from 370 when I got the surgery.
I'm super grateful for the surgery. When I had it done, I wasn't able to walk more than 5 minutes or stand for very long without getting terrible muscle spasms and back pain but after the weight loss I was able to do so much more.

I have 2 kids and they were 10 and 11 at the time. I was a stay-at-home mom and I needed to get a job ASAP.
If I had still been at 370 there's no way I could have managed a job, but after the weight loss I was able to actually have a job and not have any issues standing or walking, bending or lifting.

I haven't gained any weight back and I'm careful about what I eat and how much. I still stick with protein first and I make sure that I portion control because overeating is so uncomfortable. Overall, I'm doing great with my weight!

Whenever anyone asks, I always tell them about BeLiteWeight and tell them it was the best decision I made for my health. I can keep up with my kids and keep up at my job. It's been an absolute blessing!
