As the proud owner of Evexia Medical Weight Loss, I'm excited to share my journey with weight management with you.
My struggle with an unhealthy relationship with food has been a lifelong battle. Following the surgical removal of my thyroid, I found myself grappling with uncontrollable weight gain that seemed impossible to shed.
Few comprehend the challenges of weight loss and obesity as intimately as I do.
Embarking on my journey at 256 pounds with a BMI of 45, I felt defeated. I exhausted various methods, from Weight Watchers to Nutrisystem, and even explored extreme measures. In 2013, I underwent gastric bypass surgery, which proved pivotal in my weight loss journey. After a year and a half, I no longer felt imprisoned by my body. Shedding 130 pounds gave me a fresh outlook on life — and I was eager to fully embrace it.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic presented new challenges, and I found myself gaining 35 pounds. Fear consumed me as I dreaded returning to a state of morbid obesity. Aware of the risks of regaining weight post-bypass, I sought guidance from my endocrinologist, who candidly acknowledged the influence of my genetics and recommended trying a GLP-1 therapy (Semaglutide).
I firmly believe that weight loss struggles are deeply personal.
It's a reality defined by challenges like struggling to fasten a seatbelt on a plane, squeezing into a bathtub, or purchasing a larger couch for comfort.
Dedicated to helping others overcome these barriers, we've crafted a comprehensive weight loss program at Evexia Medical Weight Loss.
Thank you for entrusting Evexia Medical Weight Loss to support you on your path to improved health and wellness.
