Food doesn’t have the power over me, anymore.

I had high blood pressure that was about to spin out of control. I suffered from asthma. While I was always a pretty happy person, I found myself feeling more and more depressed because of my weight. But as a nurse I also understood that weight loss surgery was a tool to healing the whole me. I knew that for the surgery to be most effective, I also needed to change my lifestyle. That meant eating more healthy foods, maintaining a regular exercise program and following my doctors. post-operative orders. My decision to have weight loss surgery was made after a great deal of thought.

Once I made the decision though, I chose the surgeons at the Bariatric Institute of Wisconsin. As a surgical nurse I am able to judge the skills of dozens of surgeons throughout the area. I put my confidence in those at BIW because I knew I’d be taken care by the best.

My life now is so happy and so different. I’ll try anything, except perhaps bungee jumping. I waterboard, ski and dance till dawn if I choose, BUT I don’t shop at the fat lady store anymore.
