Meet Mariloli C.

What was life like before bariatric surgery?

My medical issues were getting worse. I tried all modes to avoid gaining weight and I followed up with my medical care. I was heavier and looked swollen, and got winded easily.

If you put off the decision to come in for a long time, why was that? What kept you from booking a consultation?

I wanted to follow up medically to make sure that I was not overlooking causes and that I was being responsible with my medical conditions. I waited for a year. I decided to go for it when everything else was cleared and I had done my research.

What was it like to work with the team from the start of your journey to today?

Setting up care was quick. Process was followed in an orderly fashion. Follow up is the most important thing for troubleshooting and PWLCT is really good at being organized for that!

What is your life like now? What’s the #1 thing you love being able to do now?

I don’t get winded with the minimal effort. I can bend and tie my shoes! Medication for some of my medical conditions has been reduced! And, yes, I like how I look. I resemble myself more now! Oh! I also have a waist!
