ANCHORAGE BARIATRICS

FOR A NEW BEGINNING

Testimonials

I realized during this process that I am stronger than I thought I was. I do matter. My future matters. I wish I had done this sooner.

I was a little nervous about going under anesthesia, but it really wasn’t that bad at all. My biggest concern was how I was going to eat less, but after the Anchorage Bariatrics team explained to me that the surgery would cause me to do that naturally, I felt like I had a safety net.

My turning point was when I was told I could not have children of my own if I didn’t change my ways. I’m getting married in a few months and having a family is a huge part of our plans. I want to be there for my husband and future kids. Now, I feel great and look great and am excited to lose these last 25 pounds to reach my goal weight.

Mentally and physically, I feel great! This surgery has been a real life saver. I’m no longer too tired to play with my grandkids, I don’t get out of breath going up the stairs – everyday things are so much easier. I can even shop in regular clothes stores now instead of specialty big and tall shops. It feels amazing!

Before my surgery, I couldn’t even walk 150 yards. I couldn’t do anything with my children. Now I’m walking 2-3 miles a day, climbing 12-15 flights of stairs. I have a lot more energy and I’m a lot happier.

A simple trip to the grocery store would wear me out. After I got back home my knees would hurt so badly that I would have to lie down. But the real kicker was the day I had to carry around my nine-month old granddaughter and I was not able to do it. That’s when I found Anchorage Bariatrics and began the New Directions diet plan. Being successful feels so good! I’m doing things I haven’t done in over a decade and I feel 30 years younger!
