Kristina’s Journey To Losing 119 lbs With The Sleeve Clinic

Описание: Kristina lost 119 lbs after receiving life-changing bariatric surgery by Dr. Scott Gmora at The Sleeve Clinic in Toronto, Ontario.

At 30 years old, Kristina had been struggling with her weight her entire life. She felt uncomfortable in her body and was tired of spending thousands of dollars on diets, skinny teas, and personal trainers and still not seeing sustainable results. That’s when she began doing her own research and found The Sleeve Clinic. “I wanted to feel good in my clothes. I wanted to be able to walk up a set of stairs and not be out of breath. I wanted a higher quality of life – and I can definitely say I have that now.”

Our team sat down with Kristina to ask her a few questions about her weight loss journey with The Sleeve Clinic:

How has your life changed since having a gastric sleeve?
"One of the biggest changes I’ve experienced is that I’ve travelled a lot this year. Before surgery, I wouldn’t have said yes to certain trips. I wouldn’t want to go to the beach. But I’ve now experienced a lot of beach vacations. I’m working two jobs, and I have lots of energy. I just feel like I’m saying yes to many things I would not have said yes to if I was still at my old size."

What does it feel like to have a gastric sleeve?
"It doesn’t even feel like I have a sleeve anymore. I feel like I can go to a restaurant and still enjoy the foods I want; everything is just in moderation. I still enjoy life the way I did before. I still enjoy things that everybody else enjoys. I just don’t crave foods like I used to."

Why did you choose The Sleeve Clinic?
"I did meet with other doctors in person, but I really liked Dr. Gmora’s energy. I really liked the energy of the office. The entire team was very thorough, and I felt that Dr. Gmora really cared. He took the time to understand why I was electing to have surgery and was very realistic. He said, “don’t put a number in your head. You don’t want a number. You want results.” The support of the entire team has been amazing."

What advice do you have for people considering gastric sleeve surgery?
"Just do it! Diets are going to last for a couple of weeks. You might stick to it for a couple of weeks, and then your body is deprived, and you’re going to gain more than what you started with. That was the cycle that I was on. This is a lifestyle change, and it’s been the greatest success for me."
