Jay’s Life Transformation: Success with Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty

A New Life and a New Jay

To date, Jay has lost more than 120 pounds and said he feels fantastic. He explained that the first 48 hours after his procedure weren’t easy, but everything since then has been exactly what he needed.

“Dr. McGowan and the team at True You have been absolutely wonderful. They are always available, check in with me regularly and give me great feedback,” said Jay. “Dr. McGowan has been very reassuring and straightforward since the beginning. It also helped that he was honest with me about the individual effort it would take from me to be successful.”

Jay’s weight loss journey led to the complete lifestyle change he had hoped for.  From shopping to cooking to entertaining, everything is different now. Jay and Carl are very careful about the volume of food they eat and serve to guests. They soon realized that even with nutritious choices, the calories quickly add up. Jay now eats about one-third of the food he ate prior to ESG. He enjoys playing tennis four to six times per week, and sometimes plays multiple games per day. He weighs himself every morning and remains committed to making the healthiest choices possible. Habits like keeping junk food and ice cream in the house and mindless, repetitive snacking have been completely eliminated.

The positive effects of ESG have also trickled into other areas of Jay’s life. He sleeps better, feels much less stress, and actually enjoys getting dressed up and going out again. The mirror is no longer an enemy, and Jay is now happy to interact with colleagues face to face. He has added weight lifting and yoga to his weekly routine and is even planning to travel to Italy with Carl one day soon.

“To anyone considering the ESG procedure with True You Weight Loss, I would say DO IT,” Jay added. “The first few weeks take some adjustment and you must be committed to the lifestyle change. But it’s been such a great journey for me, and I can’t imagine ever going back.”
