Nicole\nBurdett and Jason Williams have been friends for over 20 years. In 2017, they\nmade the life-changing decision to undergo the Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.\nPrior to surgery, Nicole, a 38-year-old mom and lawyer, weighed 215 pounds.\nJason, a 46-year-old father and lawyer, weighed 266 pounds. As a result of the\nsurgery and their dedication to a healthier life, Nicole and Jason now weigh\n126 and 193 pounds, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nicole\ndecided to have surgery for several different reasons. First and foremost, she\njuggles bring a full-time mom and lawyer on a daily basis. As the days, months\nand years went on, it became increasingly difficult for Nicole to find time for\nherself. Nicole knew the Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy could help her be the\nbest version of herself for her children, husband, clients, and colleagues.\nWithin just a few months of her surgery, Nicole and her family traveled to\nDisney World like they had many times in the past, except something was\ndifferent this time. Nicole could keep up with her energetic kids like never\nbefore; she felt younger, more confident and overall healthier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jason\nis a former Division I collegiate athlete. Given his athletic background, Jason\nknows how to and has always exercised routinely. However, his college eating\nhabits followed Jason into adulthood. As with all of us, our adult body cannot\nsustain a college eating habit. For Jason, an entire pizza and bottle of wine\nwere single servings. Jason knew his weight would continue to increase and he\nwould continue not see results in the gym if he did make a change. Jason\nunderwent the Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in order to \u201cpress the reset\u201d\nbutton. The surgery allowed Jason to learn new eating habits and exercise and\nsee results without any crash diets or crazy supplements. It was exactly the\nreset button that Jason\u2019s body needed to get back on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
