Meet Sharlie

What was life like before bariatric surgery?
The weight stopped me from just living my life to the fullest. I was always tired, and my whole body hurt. Biggest frustration was getting dressed to go somewhere nice. I had HTN.

If you put off the decision to come in for a long time, why was that? What kept you from booking a consultation?
I put off the decision for a while because I was scared. I just finally decided enough was enough.

What was it like to work with the team from the start of your journey to today?
They were amazing! They made me feel so comfortable, answered every question and concern I had. So friendly. I loved the way Dr Neichoy prayed with me before surgery. All my fears went away right then at that moment. Today if I have any questions they are easily available to help.

What is your life like now? What’s the #1 thing you love being able to do now?
This question is hard. I can exercise longer, bend over and tie my shoe without breathing hard, I have more energy and I enjoy putting on clothes and feeling better about the way I look.
