Beaming with self-confidence, glowing with happiness.
Like so many others who have struggled with their weight over long periods of time, Amanda’s experience could be summed up in a word: see-saw.
Certainly a familiar story, where her weight would change drastically from one year to the next – a seemingly endless struggle between promising weight losses and disheartening weight gains.
Eventually, Amanda realized that these ups and downs weren’t going to help with any real long-term progress. She knew there had to be a better way.
“For 14 years, I went up and down with my weight constantly,” recalls Amanda. “I was 300 pounds, I was 140 pounds, and I did this for so long that I had to come up with something else that felt more permanent and [that] made a huge, drastic change in my life.”
“I smile constantly, which I never did before.”
Amanda began looking around online, and through her research discovered gastric sleeve surgery at 360 Sleeve. Soon after learning about the benefits of this life-changing procedure, Amanda was convinced it was the right choice for her.
After a free consultation and qualifying for the surgery, Amanda’s time with her surgeons and care team leading up to the day of her operation would have given her all the emotional support and information she needed to feel even more confident in her choice. And since the surgery, Amanda’s outlook has changed for the better just as much as her weight.
“I’m so happy all of the time,” she beams. “I smile constantly, which I never did before.”
Today, Amanda’s self-confidence and positive outlook are both obvious to anyone who meets her – her life has changed so completely since surgery. And you can’t help but notice just how much of a positive difference gastric sleeve surgery has made – something that Amanda has definitely noticed too.
“I get compliments constantly,” she says, smiling. “Even just ‘Amanda, you’re so happy!’ And I’d never heard that before. That’s one of the greatest things.”
