Before my surgery, I didn’t have a lot of energy and would get out of breath very easy. My back would bother me, and I was in a lot of pain. My biggest frustrations were not being able to wear jeans comfortably and seeing myself in photos. Plus, I had high blood pressure. I thought about surgery in 2016 but felt I hadn’t really tried on my own so I joined Weight Watchers. I lost 25 pounds, but when the pandemic hit, I gained it all back.
In October 2020, I started considering weight loss surgery. I always saw the sign for Garden State Bariatric when I was going to physical therapy in the same building as their office in Toms River. I kept saying one day I am going to call them. Late one night, I went on the website and decided it was time for a change because I wanted to live.
The GSBWC team is the best, very professional. They made me feel at ease every step of the way, especially the day of surgery. All my questions and concerns were addressed properly.
Now I can cross my legs, fit in jeans comfortably and I’m using the elliptical at the gym.
