Michelle B. Had Gastric Sleeve Surgery with Dr. Jeremy Korman

People may think that once you've done the surgery, you can eat whatever you want but the truth is that you have to choose your meals carefully and this can be time-consuming.

Michelle B.

In January 2016, I made a decision which changed my life dramatically. I had bariatric surgery, and ever since I have embarked on a journey of rediscovering myself and regaining my self-confidence. I am very proud to say that 20 months after my sleeve gastrectomy, I weigh 150 pounds less and I am still losing weight. People may think that once you've done the surgery, you can eat whatever you want but the truth is that you have to choose your meals carefully and this can be time-consuming. Even so, I am very happy with my new life and I regret nothing. I haven't been this fit in more than 15 years and I do my best to stay in shape. I work out with a personal trainer on a regular basis, and on weekends I like to go hiking. I have wanted to learn something new for some time so I might even take some boxing classes. You set the pace of your progress with your exercising program and diet, once the surgery is over, it's all on you.
