When I started this journey, I weighed 250 pounds, was considered morbidly obese, and had been diagnosed as prediabetic. I also had high blood pressure, fatty liver, and severe sleep apnea. I was in constant pain and had a very hard time walking or keeping up with my family. I felt discouraged, uncomfortable in my own body, and deeply worried about my long-term health. GLP-1 medication was not an option for me because it caused me to get pancreatitis, and I did not want to undergo an invasive, complicated surgical procedure. After researching my options, I knew this procedure was the right fit for me. From my very first consultation, the team at Everself treated me with compassion, professionalism, and respect. They took the time to thoroughly explain everything, answer all of my questions, and make sure I felt confident and informed every step of the way.
The procedure itself went smoothly, and the support I received before and after was exceptional. The medical staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and always available when I had concerns. They provided clear guidance on nutrition, portion control, and lifestyle changes, which helped me build healthier habits and stay accountable. I would tell any friend considering this that it is an incredible tool to help you achieve your weight loss goals — but it is still a tool. You have to put in the hard work by watching what you eat, measuring your food, and committing to exercise. It is also a lifelong commitment to changing your habits and prioritizing your health. Everself gave me the structure and support I needed to succeed.
In just close to five months, I have lost 52 pounds and now weigh 198 pounds. I am no longer prediabetic, and my high blood pressure, fatty liver, and severe sleep apnea have all improved. I am hiking and walking every day, and I have gotten my stamina and mobility back. I can now keep up with my family without pain, and I feel stronger and more confident than I have in years. Choosing Everself was one of the best decisions I have ever made for my health, and I am incredibly grateful to the entire team for helping me reclaim my life.
