Jess struggled with emotional eating and being overweight much of her life. “I was a lifelong emotional eater and I also suffered from never feeling full. Consequently, she gained weight over the years until she became morbidly obese weighing nearly 250 pounds. She tried exercising, diets, and medications – with little to no results.
Shortly after her 27 year birthday, Jess began having chronic health problems such as Lipema, Prediabetes, Shin Splints, and Cystic Acne. Compounding her health problems, she broke her ankle which prevented her from exercising and caused her to gain even more weight.
After a lot of research and deliberation, Jess decided to have Gastric Sleeve Surgery to help her lose the weight. Within 16 months Jess had lost nearly half her body weight. She continued losing weight and is now at her ideal weight for her. Jess feels amazing and the surgery has completely transformed her health and life.
Following her surgery and weight loss, all of her former health problems have gone away. Jess now enjoys being active with her friends and family and loves her new body. For Jess, losing weight has given her a whole new freedom in her life. She is incredibly proud of herself for achieving goals she thought were impossible.
