Thank you to your team, the whole team. I am forever grateful for what you have helped me do. I feel amazing, have SO much more energy, and enjoy wearing clothes.

My Journey

I walked into your office in October or November of 2019 scared for my life. I was afraid I was going to die before I got to see my daughter graduate High School. I was terrified of what my future held health-wise for me. Dr C gave me my life back, and Vanessa has helped with that too.

The picture in the red dress is from May 2019 (my son’s high school grad) and the one in the blue dress is from June 2024 (my daughter’s high school grad).

I was pretty close to 300 pounds in the red dress, and I now weigh 156!

Thank you to your team, the whole team. I am forever grateful for what you have helped me do. I feel amazing, have SO much more energy, enjoy wearing clothes. The biggest change I have noticed is I can walk (upstairs, around the block) without having to stop and catch my breath!!!!
