Barta: 110 lbs. Weight Loss

This journey not only changed how I look but how I feel. After my surgery, I graduated from College and moved on in my career to a job that I am on my feet moving constantly. Without the weight loss surgery I would not be able to do my job or participate in my life as I know it today.

I lost a total of 110 pounds and have kept it off for 5.5 years. Every day is a new beginning as I did not lose the ticks or triggers that led me to the place I was before my surgery. Each day I pep talk myself and remind myself where I started and where I am today and it brings me joy to know I had the help I needed at the time in my life I was ready to change my life.

I am healthy and vibrant today because of the choice I made to change my life forever. I can only thank Dr. Richards and the staff at the center for helping get my life back and helping me to look forward to dancing at my grandsons’ weddings in the future.
