A VSG Revision Success
Sophie’s bariatric VSG revision was quick and easy, and she was ready to leave the True You outpatient office within an hour feeling nothing but a sore throat and enthusiasm for her second “rebirth.”
Within just six months, Sophie was back to a normal body mass index (BMI) and weighed 138 pounds, even less than she weighed on her 40th birthday after her original VSG. Her keys to success include closely following the dietary guidelines clearly laid out for her by dietitian and making exercise a priority again. She even created a new home gym, including a Peloton® bike, an elliptical, and weights.
“I feel so much better now, and I’m really enjoying my workouts again,” added Sophie. “The entire bariatric revision process was painless and far less stressful than my VSG. Plus, I had done a lot of research into Dr. McGowan and the True You team beforehand, and I felt very safe with them. They were a joy to deal with the entire time, and I am so glad I made this decision.”
Good Health is a Family Affair
As Sophie has lost weight, she is gratified to see that her twins, now 10 years old, notice the difference and are thrilled with her progress. They take an active interest in her weight loss goals and want to be involved. The family is now more focused on cooking at home and exercising together as well.
“I want to be a good role model for my children,” said Sophie. “Being at a healthy weight and feeling better overall, I am easily able to enjoy sports with them again. We play a lot of basketball and soccer together as a family.”
With her health back in check, Sophie is also excited to get back into fashion and is enjoying how easy it is to choose pieces that fit her perfectly. “It feels amazing to get dressed! It’s a great biproduct of losing the weight.”
Most importantly, Sophie and her family love travelling and being active. They are happiest when they are outside, enjoying nature together. They plan to continue taking trips to their favorite South Carolina beaches. The family is also looking forward to some international trips in the near future, including a trip home to Jamaica.
“The team at True You Weight Loss has been amazing, and I could not have asked for a better outcome,” added Sophie. “From start to finish, it was an A1, top-class experience, and I am so thankful for this second chance at weight loss success.”
