 <\/p>\n

Seek Help<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Amy put it best when she said, \u201cI ran into a friend of mine [one] night, and the first thing I said to her was, \u2018Wow. You look great.\u2019 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.\u201d\u00a0 At Surgical Specialists of Louisiana, we understand that asking for help<\/a> can sometimes be difficult, but seeking help is an important first step. It can be a hard first step but once taken, you\u2019re on your way to a new and healthier you.<\/p>\n

Talk to a Doctor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amy made that call, and she was able to connect with one of our surgeons.<\/p>\n

After speaking with SSL about the life changing benefits of weight loss surgery<\/a>, the fears that Amy had experienced for many years were quickly resolved. She was excited to take her life in a new direction.\u00a0 She summed it up by saying \u201cI 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\u2026 it was immediately erased.\u201d<\/p>\n
