Gastric Sleeve Success Stories: Before & After

"All I can say is thank you for giving me my life back.  When I called and scheduled my appointment I was 315 lb, I started then watching what I ate.  When I had the surgery I was 295 lb.  I now weigh 180 lb.  I never thought I would ever be down under 300 lb again in my life. 

I sleep much better, I have more energy, and can walk upstairs without getting winded.  All I can say is if anybody wants to have this surgery just do it.  I can't say enough about how well I was treated at the clinic.  The nurses was nice and they took very good care of me. 

If I had it all to do over again I would do it again in a heartbeat.  I had the best care I've ever had anywhere.  Again thank you so much for everything."

There are many achievements that I can list but I will keep it to the ones that are most important to me.

1) I have achieved the love of working out again. I had reached the point of feeling defeated even though I would frequently workout out but my energy level and endurance had hit rock bottom and I felt as if I was just spinning my wheels and not getting a

2) I’ve been able to regain self love again. This in my opinion is one of the most important things to be successful after VSG surgery. I was at the point that I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror and I would do whatever it took to avoid looking at myself. If I d

3) Last but not least I have been able to achieve the ability to recognize when I’m full and making better food choices. Having the restriction in my belly and knowing what to do to keep it is key to my success.
Thank you to all the Renew team for the care and for giving me my life back!!

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’mnot 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 afriend 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 schedulehad 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—andboy 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 lifeback. I have energy and want to soak up every drop I have left—it feels great to be alive!

Christina is a 39-year-old mother of four who underwent gastric sleeve surgery in June 2018. Since then, she has lost 128lbs. Christina confesses that at least she now has the energy to keep up with her bubbly kids. She also has the energy to chase after her life-long dreams.

A great lesson to pick from her story is how she ditched insurance cover for a better medical cover offered by the surgery center. It took her six years to even get close to getting insurance coverage for the procedure. The surgery center processed it in months.
