For this patient, it's never been about a number on the scale. It's about having the freedom, energy, and finally feeling like herself again.

At the top of her list? Travel. Long walks through cobblestone streets, trying every pasta dish she can find (in moderation now of course), and soaking in the kind of trip she used to only dream of. First stop, Italy! 🇮🇹

Ok so let’s talk pasta - is it off limits? No! But it is a carb and can be covered in rich sauces. So, moderation and discipline is key. You don’t need to weigh your portions on vacation but err on the side of caution and eat appetizer/tapas sized portions and keep you focus on lean proteins.

We're so proud of the work she's put in to get here, and we can't wait to watch her check that dream off her list.

Weight loss can be a team event! Taking on your weight loss journey side by side means cheering each other on for every milestone, and supporting each other on every hard day.

The patients in this photo are celebrating the way many of us do in Florida! At Disney, living it up in bodies they worked hard to earn. Wins include:

- Being able to enjoy rides like they never did before
- Exploring more of the park without being tired or winded
- Feeling cooler and more comfortable in hot weather thanks to weight loss

From the before photo to today, the transformation isn't just physical. It's the confidence, the energy, and the joy that comes with showing up fully for the moments that matter.

This isn't just an old shirt, it's proof of how far she's come. 👕

She held onto it through the whole journey, a quiet reminder of where she started. Now it swims on her, and that's what we love to see!

Every extra inch of room tells a story of consistency, hard work, and a decision she made to bet on herself.
We're so proud of her, and we can't wait to see what she outgrows next. 💪

"Can I still be active after surgery?" is one of the questions we hear most, and the answer might surprise you. 😧

Walking starts almost right away, and it's not just encouraged, it's essential. Moving early helps prevent blood clots and keeps your recovery on track.

Weight lifting, on the other hand, is off the table for a few weeks while your body heals. Your surgeon will let you know when you're cleared to add it back in.

The best rule of thumb? Let pain be your guide. If something feels like too much, it probably is. Ease into activity and listen to your body.

Not feeling that hungry right after surgery? That's completely normal, and part of the process.

In the first few weeks, your appetite naturally takes a back seat. Your stomach is healing, hormone levels are shifting, and your body is adjusting to a new normal. This decrease in hunger isn't something to worry about, it's one of the ways bariatric surgery helps jumpstart early weight loss.

As your body settles, your appetite will gradually return albeit at a much lower level than before.
