Nancy lost 138 pounds

At 362 pounds, Nancy had developed type 2 diabetes and was having difficulty walking. Her primary care doctor suggested she make an appointment with MBI.

Although initially resistant to the idea of bariatric surgery, Nancy was unhappy and knew she had to make a change in her lifestyle. Nancy and the MBI team worked together to create a customized plan for her. In May 2019, Nancy had her bariatric surgery.

Now, Nancy goes to the gym every day and is off all of her medications. “Bariatric surgery is a journey and you have to make the decision to be all in,” said Nancy.
