Gina Gilland Professional Fitness Instructor

Before bariatric surgery, Gina Gilland weighed 300 pounds and had no interest in fitness or health. However, her life took a dramatic turn after her RNY surgery, which led to an impressive weight loss of over 150 pounds. This transformation wasn't just physical—it ignited a newfound passion for fitness that propelled her out of an office administration job and into the fitness industry, where she's been a guiding force for over nine years.

"Weight loss surgery (WLS) isn't an easy choice. It can come at a high price, and there is a 50/50 chance of whether or not you'll even be able to keep the weight off, which is a huge risk. The first year is simple; you can barely eat, so the weight just falls off. But what you do after that is truly the key, which is why WLS and fitness must go hand in hand. There is really no way around it. Not only will it help you to keep the weight off, but it will also make you healthier and happier, and in some cases, it can even help minimize the loose skin issues." - Gina
