What has been the biggest benefit of bariatric surgery, for you?
Jennifer: Sure, buying new clothes is fun and feeling full after a meal is amazing, but my biggest benefit has been feeling healthier. My asthma doesn’t affect me as much and my knees aren’t swollen. I no longer suffer with acid reflux. I can enjoy food from a whole new perspective and with a sense of control.
Laura: The weight loss was part of a greater transformation. After making a major change, I believed in my ability to face challenges and continue changing. I’ve become surer of myself and more committed to my values.
Jamie: Physically, this is the best I have ever felt. I didn't even know people could feel this good. I’m able to have dance parties in my living room with my three-year-old and not have to sit down after two minutes because I’m out of breath or my knees hurt.
