Feeling truly supported -- on every step of her weight-loss journey.
No matter how committed you are to weight loss – whether that means going all-in on crash diets, seeking out advice from dieticians, or even buying exercise equipment like a treadmill, sometimes it takes an a-ha moment to really take that next important step.
For Sayoda, the moment of clarity came when she attempted to run some errands.
“If I went to Walmart, [I’d be] in the scooter because walking had my back hurting,” she remembers. “At one point, I was 396 pounds. I was so heavy that I would be walking and dragging my feet.”
Something had to change for Sayoda, and her current approach simply wasn’t working – even though she was regularly exercising, watching her diet, and seeking out professional advice. “I worked out in the morning for two hours,” she says, “and still nothing.”
Sayoda knew that continuing down this path would only continue to negatively affect her health, finally realizing that, without taking drastic action, “I would have been dead.”
That defining moment came when she contacted 360 Sleeve for a free consultation. Sayoda had already done plenty of research on YouTube; she was educated about gastric sleeve surgery was, and how it could help regain control of her health. And after learning about 360 Sleeve through a Google search, Sayoda knew she’d found her answer and booked her surgery soon after.
Post-surgery, Sayoda was concerned about her physical and mental discomfort, but she was happy to be surrounded by so much support – not only from her family, but from her surgeons and care team at 360 Sleeve, who checked up on her regularly to ensure the procedure was a success. “It’s like they were there [with me],” Sayoda remembers.
“360 is basically family – not just an expression,” she continues, describing the feeling of being at the state-of-the-art clinic as comfortable, just like coming home.”
“I love when people tell me I look good. Because I know I look good – before I never used to see it.”
After her surgery, Sayoda experienced the transformation she had been so committed to. She was even finally able to have her dresses taken in, to better suit her new body – and outlook.
Today, Sayoda continues to enjoy her healthy lifestyle – not to mention all the compliments she receives. “I love the attention, I’m not going to lie,” she says smiling. “I love when people tell me I look good. Because I know I look good – before I never used to see it.”
