The biggest issue for me prior to having weight loss surgery was my self esteem. I did not have medical issues but I did not like myself at all. I wanted to be able to look in the mirror and like myself and I didn’t.

I have thought about it for years. I seriously considered it for about 9 months. I went in for a consultation and left thinking there is no way I can do this. There are too many restrictions and changes. Eventually 9 months later I was still feeling the same way and hated the way I looked so I went back in for another consultation and thought to myself “I can do this”.

Working with you guys has been nothing but a good experience. The staff at the front is very helpful, the dieticians are great, and most of all Dr. Doucette is very reassuring and made me feel very comfortable with my decision.

I love getting dressed to go out now. I do not dread picking out a million different outfits before I find something I was just like “ok this is fine, I don’t feel terrible in it but still not great”. Now I get excited to put clothes on because I just feel good about myself. I also have more energy and I am not so focused on food like I was before. I eat when I am hungry and then thats it. Even the small amount of food is satisfying.
