Unlike most people I have not suffered from obesity my entire life, only the past thirteen years. I began to put on weight the day I got married; they said it was because I was so happy. I put on about 60 pounds in the first year and never could seem to get it off nor keep from adding to it year by year. I participated in a wellness program at the hospital where I work, but was disappointed year after year to find that despite my best efforts, I always ended up at least 10 pounds heavier than the year before. I did the math and found that I would be well over 300 pounds within 10 years if I continued at my same pace. I am only 5' 1" and at 225 pounds life was becoming more difficult. I realized I was missing out on a lot with my two daughters. I truly felt trapped.

My professional career was taking off, yet I began to notice my peers who did not have a weight problem were able to build professional relationships at a much greater pace than myself. I grew up in a home where I watched my best friend, my mother, struggle with not only morbid obesity, but super morbid obesity, and I knew I wanted more out of life.

I began to hear wonderful reports about a lady who worked for a software vendor of ours who had recently undergone the BPD/DS surgery and was really losing weight and getting healthier. She was so much more energetic and seemed to truly be enjoying life. After much research and prayer, Mom and I were led to Dr. Husted, and, oh, what a blessing it has been. I now have trouble getting my girls to keep up with me! I work out and enjoy it! Business associates now call me to get an appointment instead of me feeling like I have to beg them to take the time to meet with me. I'm now wearing a size 4 and sometimes even a 2; that's a big difference from my old size 20-22's. Life is GRAND! I have been released!

Thank you, Dr. Husted and staff. ....and thank you Mom for not only standing by me through this but for doing it yourself; I love you!!
