I’m 43 years young and A grandma to two boys and another due in May.

I’m 5’1 and starting weight was 205 and Now I weigh between 105 and 110. I was A size 20 pants and XXL shirts and now I wear size 0 pants and XS shirts.

I Love being able to play with my grandsons without getting tired and being able to be the best me that was hidden for so long. I can run these days, tie my shoes, and go up and down stairs without feeling like I was dieing.

Life is just better being healthy in every way. Is it the easy way out? No way it is not it takes dedication and work. You have to change everything and your relationship with food. I eat to live today not live to eat. I track all my food and stay on A schedule.

I take all my vitamins and show up and do what I gotta to not fail this tool that was given yo me. Best gift ever!!

I had the surgery on May 11, 2022 and ever since then I’ve come to realize that there is so much in life that I am finally capable of doing that I never thought I could. In example, just the small things like riding rollercoasters and not being squeezed very tig when looking in the mirror. And just simply being able to buy clothes freely and not having to spend extra for bigger size clothing. This surgery was one of the greatest decisions I’ve made in my life, to become a healthier me. I’m still losing pounds and se months post op and I can’t wait to see where I plateau at my healthiest point.

As I was staring at turning 60, and felt physically broken, depressed; nothing seemed to work, and I just couldn’t make any kind of progress. I’m not a religious person, but I said God, if I am going to be around for a while, it has to be in a different body…so show me the way. In no time a friend shared her experience with Renew . It was something I had never seriously considered, but I couldn’t get it out of my head. I went online, filled out the information to see if I would even be a good candidate. Almost instantly my patient advocate Roni reached out. I knew my schedule had a short window to make this happen before my birthday, and so again I trusted. If this is meant to me, then please God make it easy—and boy was it! The guidance and support I received before, during, and after the surgery were second to none. I am so grateful for getting my life back. I have energy and want to soak up every drop I have left—it feels great to be alive!
