Meet @Zu_glam I’ve always had a huge personality & have always been very body positive. I have struggled with my weight since my childhood. Always an up & down struggle,but I never let my weight define who I am as a person. As I headed to my late 20's the weight started piling on. My feet started hurting from walking a few blocks, I was out of breath all the time. I wasnt even able to wear heels anymore! Can you imagine? LOL. My biggest motivator in getting bariatric surgery was being pre diabetic. My health was finally at jeopardy. I put all fears aside & went for it. Starting Tip: If you are contemplating surgery. Go for it! I went to my 6 month weigh ins still unsure if I was going to go through with it. You will know if this decision is for you when the time comes. Never let anyone elses opinion dictate your choices. Opinions dont pay bills, & they dont make you healthy! #wlstories . . .

Meet: @SleevedChica I’m Layna! After many failed attempts at losing weight on my own, I researched the Gastric Sleeve surgery for two years before having it on 7/6/16. With weight loss surgery, eating healthier (limiting takeout, less carbs and sugar) I’ve lost over 101 lb in 16 months! Losing weight has allowed me to be active with my kids, freedom to shop wherever I want, no longer be pre-diabetic, and I no longer have borderline high blood pressure. Even as a busy wife, mom, & career woman, I’ve learned to stop letting those be my excuses and instead be my motivation. STARTING TIP: Research weight loss surgery and see if it’s for you. For every horror story, there’s so many more success stories. If you’re not a fan of meal prepping, make a list on the weekend of meals you want for lunch & dinner and buy the ingredients you need. This is how I stay on track. Track your weight each week- you’ll be amazed at how all those “small losses” add up in the end. And stay positive! You’re worth the effort, you deserve to lose weight, & you deserve to be a better version of you. I’m an ordinary person who decided to turn my life around for the better. If I can do it, so can you! #wlstories . . .

Meet @autumnxnoir I had the Loop DS January 18, 2017. I was 356 lbs,borderline diabetic, sleep apnea, & high blood pressure. My weight was really affecting my job as I’m a hairdresser & on my feet all day. I could barely get from my car to my house I was in so much pain all the time. Never thought surgery would be an option for me, but I’ve tried so many times to lose it own my own. I made the decision last year & it’s one of the best decisions in my life! The only regret I have is not doing it sooner. I currently lost 200lbs & even though I lost so much I really gained so much more! Im hoping to inspire anyone thinking about making a drastic change in their lifestyle for their health. Starting Tip: Go to your local surgery support groups before your surgery to hear what others are going through & also know your not alone in this journey! #wlstories . . .

You'll see the journey on a whole new level! ______________________________________ Episode 4 features Meet: @amandajean_rny As a single mom of three I knew I had to make a change. Everyday life felt like an impossible feat. I had a hard time putting on my socks in the morning, I couldn't turn my steering wheel because my belly was pushing against it and the worst part was I couldn't be active with my children. We had to drive to the park across the street and I could barely make it the park bench where I sat and watched all the other parents playing with their children. I made a decision to better my life not only for myself but for my three children. I had gastric bypass surgery in January of 2017! I have currently lost 150lbs and am creeping slowly but surly towards my goal weight!! Now instead of watching I'm playing goalie and riding bikes and finally living life! Starting tip: you WILL fall off and you WILL want to quit but as long as you get up and dust yourself off and get back on the train you CAN'T fail and you WONT fail! Success is within your reach - I'm living proof! #wlstories . . .
