The Skinny on Skinny Amy Jones

The Skinny on Skinny Amy Jones

The Skinny on Skinny Amy Jones

Recently, the Lafayette newspaper, Independent Weekly, featured an incredible story about one of Surgical Specialists of Louisiana’s patients, Amy Jones.  Amy struggled with her weight for most of her life. She had tried everything and wanted to change but had questions, and fears about how to get the results she wanted. With the help of some friends and the skilled care of SSL, Amy Jones is now 140 pounds lighter!  Read her inspiring story about how in just a little over a year, she has regained control over her weight and her life.

 

Seek Help

 

Amy put it best when she said, “I ran into a friend of mine [one] night, and the first thing I said to her was, ‘Wow. You look great.’ I asked her what she had done [to lose so much weight], and she told me she had surgery, at which point I asked if I could call her.”  At Surgical Specialists of Louisiana, we understand that asking for help can sometimes be difficult, but seeking help is an important first step. It can be a hard first step but once taken, you’re on your way to a new and healthier you.

 

Talk to a Doctor

Amy made that call, and she was able to connect with one of our surgeons.

After speaking with SSL about the life changing benefits of weight loss surgery, the fears that Amy had experienced for many years were quickly resolved. She was excited to take her life in a new direction.  She summed it up by saying “I was living constantly in fear. So I went to talk to the doctor and that was it. I never looked back. All the years I had lived in fear about doing it… it was immediately erased.”

Post-Surgery

At Surgical Specialists of Louisiana, we know what a life changing event weight loss surgery can be for patients.  And that is exactly why we offer so many support services to help our patients through the entire experience. From the first consultation through post-op, Amy received positive reinforcement from family and friends as well as our trained patient advocates and monthly support group attendees.  Additionally, we provide weight loss nutrition and lifestyle tips to help patients maintain a healthy living standard after their procedure.

Amy is one of SSL’s many successful weight-loss surgery patients. Having lost 140 pounds, she is  at a weight where she is happy, and has regained  an active, energetic lifestyle. To learn more about our comprehensive weight loss solutions, including gastric sleeve, gastric bypass and gastric banding, attend one of our FREE seminars or call us at 877-691-3001.
