Success Story
MARLENE E.
Xenia, Ohio
Roux-en-Y Surgery Patient
(May, 2008)
Lost 50 lbs. after 2 months
Her goal is 130 lbs. after 1 year
Like so many obese people, Marlene was quite ill due to her condition. She suffered from diabetes, kidney disease, fibromyalgia, sleep apnea, rheumatoid arthritis, anemia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Her legs were so weak she required a walker. If she didn’t lose weight she was destined to be housebound, which would hinder her volunteer work and church attendance.
Over the years Marlene tried various diets, but would easily get discouraged and quit. Most recently she attempted to cut back on eating but gave up. She learned about New Life Weight Loss Surgery Center in an ad. An educational seminar presented by Dr. Anderson gave Marlene the confidence she needed to consider bariatric surgery.
Marlene’s surgery went very well and she recovered quickly. Today, her wellbeing is dramatically improved. She goes places more easily now without using a walker or a cane. She will tell you she feels like a new person and looks forward to a longer, happier life.
“I wish I had surgery years ago, but I wasn’t ready then. It’s a big decision, but the right decision when your health is a priority. It feels so good to lose the weight that is literally holding you down.”Marlene
