My surgical weight loss journey began the two years ago, the day I caught my reflection with my daughters in my car’s rearview mirror. At 5’2” and more than 300 pounds, I realized that I was NOT a good role model for her. With diabetes and hypertension, I wondered whether I would even be there to see her graduate from high school.

Swallowing my stubbornness and pride, I called St. Vincent Charity Hospital to register for a free, informational seminar about bariatric surgery. Did you know that St. Vincent Charity Hospital performs more weight loss surgeries than any hospital in the region and that they have one of the most comprehensive bariatric programs in the nation? Believe me — I did my homework!

At the seminar, I met people who were just like me, and got ALL of my questions answered. I had the surgery, lost 161 pounds, and TODAY, I am NOT looking in my review mirror anymore!
