“As a teenager, I was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). This syndrome caused a never-ending, on-going battle with my weight and self-esteem. As I got older, I exercised regularly and dieted, but to no avail. Over time, I accepted the fact that no matter what I did, I’d never lose weight.

One day, when I was feeling particularly defeated, I decided to research some ways that people have dealt with their PCOS. I came across an article about the gastric sleeve procedure and how one woman found her success with this particular tool. I called SmartShape the next day in order to ask the list of questions that I had complied during my research. I was able to set up a time to speak with my actual Surgeon on several occasions, where all my apprehension and fears were laid to rest. My surgery was scheduled for a month later. Everyone involved made the process quick and pleasant.

Here I am, almost a year out of surgery. I have lost 98 pounds, and I have gained tremendous confidence and strength. I now have energy, I know how to eat to fuel my body and I see results. I am forever grateful that SmartShape has provided me with the tools to live my best and most healthy life!”
