Claire’s Story

“My style was so limited”

I was lounging all the time. I was eating so much sugar and desserts and snacks every night. My weight was always a thought and a factor for things people don’t even realize. Going to an amusement park, getting invited to go on a hike, sitting in a restaurant booth, seat buckles in a car or airplane. One of my biggest frustrations was clothes shopping. I am on a stage a lot with what I do and also love style! It had gotten so hard go find things that I felt good in that I liked. My style was so limited. I didnt have any medical problems from my weight yet, but was on the brink of being pre diabetic.

I had considered it seriously for about 5-6 months. I had delayed filling out the consultation for that amount of time and had not fully made the decision. I remember I went shopping and nothing was fitting and I was the heaviest I had ever been, and that night I made the decision and filled out the consultation and made the appointment and pretty much knew there was no going back even though I was scared.

I was surprised how fast it went and was grateful for that. If the process had taken TOO long I could have gotten cold feet. Everyone was so nice and supportive and helpful explaining everything and making sure I had what I needed. The team has been super responsive whenever I had a question in those early post op days, and were great about checking in right after.
I cant pick just 1! There were things I could do before but now I enjoy. I love moving my body. I started
dance classes and definitely feel the itch if I don’t move my body somehow on a given day! I love buying
new outfits that I love and feel good in and playing around with new styles. I still enjoy the foods I eat, but I
look at food way more now as how can that food benefit me physically not just taste. I feel in control of
what I eat and gives me an overall sense of self control that is helpful in other areas of life.
