Before & After VSG with clwyatt86!
December 8, 2015Celebrating clwyatt86's Journey!
298 pounds. That number not only represents my highest weight, but also a time in my life when I was incredibly unhealthy, both physically and mentally. My knees hurt, my back hurt, and my doctor was using the scary “diabetes” word. On top of that, I was depressed, lonely, and my self-esteem was at an all-time low.
Before & After VSG
OH Username: clwyatt86
Weight loss: 131 pounds
Method: VSG
Surgeon: Dr. Jack Rutledge
Then I met Dr. Jack Rutledge and his team, and I felt like I could finally hope for a better future. I had VSG surgery on July 1, 2013, and lost 131 pounds over the next year and a half.
I have completely changed my attitude about food. Where I once saw food as a bitter friend, I now see it as an ally in my journey - one to be thoughtfully respected.
This surgery saved me, both physically and mentally. It was the best thing that I have ever done for myself. I no longer need to take pre-diabetes medications, and my joints are pain free. Mentally, I am a new person. My confidence is top notch - so much so that, one year after surgery, I began online dating and met my soulmate. We recently got married!
