Pensacola Couple Finds Life-Changing Weight Loss at Ascension Sacred Heart✨♥️ After years of struggling with obesity, Anita and Jim Steenson found a life-changing solution through the bariatric surgery program at Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola. Today, the Pensacola couple has lost more than 300 pounds combined and is enjoying a healthier, more active life together.

For Anita, the emotional and physical challenges of obesity began early in life.

“I've had a lifelong struggle with my weight since I was a child,” Anita shared. “I remember being in the third grade and my teacher approaching my mother, telling her I was a distraction to the other children because they spent so much time teasing me about my weight. It’s been a lifelong battle.”

Jim also struggled with significant weight issues for much of his life. As a married couple, the Steensons spent years searching for solutions.

“We've tried all kinds of different things,” said Jim. “We've lost weight before, but we were never able to keep it off. That changed after meeting Dr. Gatmaitan and going through this program.”

Anita and Jim didn’t just commit to better health, they committed to it together 💙

As a couple struggling with their weight, they turned to Dr. Patrick Gatmaitan for guidance. Through the Comprehensive Wellness Program at Ascension Sacred Heart, they received personalized support, education and encouragement every step of the way. Both chose bariatric surgery, and Dr. Gatmaitan performed two different procedures tailored to each of them as individuals. With the guidance and support of the wellness team, Anita and Jim found more than a surgical care plan; they found encouragement, trust and a team that truly walked alongside them every step of the way.

They speak openly about how powerful it was to have each other’s support throughout the journey, and how the resources offered through the Comprehensive Wellness Program helped them build sustainable habits, confidence, and long-term success. Today, they’re feeling healthier, more energized and grateful they took this step side by side, a decision that’s given them a better quality of life and a stronger future together. ✨

If you’re considering weight loss surgery or non-surgical weight loss options, Dr. Gatmaitan and his team offer personalized solutions designed to support you for the long term. 🌱 Learn more and take the first step toward your own wellness journey: http://ascn.io/6181h2lJb or call 850-820-5444
