I weighed over 350 lbs at my highest weight and wearing a size 32 not to mention all the medications I had to take. Now I am fit and healthy and wear a size 8.

I knew I was overweight before my surgery, but it wasn’t until I lost 100 lbs and saw my health drastically improve that I truly realized just how overweight and sick I had become!”

I had topped out at 340 pounds and with the help of all the staff and Dr. Walton I now weigh 170 pounds and have maintained my weight for years.

I actually walked with a walker (and struggled with that) for over two years! I wasn’t able to do my own shopping and had to rely on one of my great family supporters to do all my running around and shopping for me!

The surgery is a tool, not a “cure-all”. It is a life- long commitment-if you are not committed to using this tool, it won’t work. My only regret is that I waited until I was 47 years old to do this

The results of BBQ, fried green tomatoes and sweet tea caused my weight to skyrocket to an all-time high of around 250 pounds! For a girl that is just barely over 5 foot carrying that much weight, there is no way I could even begin to step into a pair of heels let alone walk in them
