Since undergoing my procedure at Everself (formerly Bariendo), I’ve lost almost 50 pounds in just 4 months—a remarkable achievement that goes far beyond the number on the scale. More importantly, my quality of life has transformed dramatically. My energy levels have skyrocketed, my joint pain has diminished significantly, and my sleep quality has improved in ways I didn’t anticipate. I’m now able to play actively with my kids and grandkids without exhaustion, and I can walk up many flights of stairs without getting winded, which has restored my overall confidence and joy in everyday life. These changes have rippled through every aspect of my day, from my physical health to my emotional well-being.
What impressed me most was the unwavering support I received from my very first consultation call through my recovery and continuing months after my procedure. Throughout this entire journey, I felt genuinely heard, supported, and informed at every step. Everself has demonstrated that they care about far more than just the weight loss numbers—they’re invested in my overall health and wellness. The personalized care, exceptional staff professionalism, immaculate facility, and consistent availability have been instrumental in helping me navigate every phase of this transformation. The comprehensive follow-up care has been phenomenal, making me feel like I’m never alone in this process.
To be honest, finding a before picture was difficult. For so long, I have stayed away from a full-body picture because of my weight. Now, even though I am not at my goal weight, I have the confidence to take a picture and am proud of my accomplishment. The before picture was from my daughter’s wedding last year, when I was not even at my heaviest. Although I was super excited for her, inside I was not happy about my outside appearance. When I tried the dress on again for the after picture, I was thrilled that it felt so much better and even a little big in some places!
If a friend asked me about Everself, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it without reservation. I’d tell them that the procedure itself was surprisingly easy, the team genuinely cares about your success, and the results have been life-changing in ways I never expected. This procedure has fundamentally changed my life for the better. The team is both professional and deeply compassionate, and if you’re ready to invest in yourself and your future, Everself is absolutely worth it.
