Why Did You Decide to Have Bariatric Surgery?

Lorrie decided to have bariatric surgery when she was at her heaviest weight, dealing with uncontrolled blood pressure, and on the brink of diabetes. She also started experiencing stomach issues and realized she needed to make a change to be there for her active kids. Prior to surgery, Lorrie was on a frustrating yo-yo trend of gaining and losing weight inconsistently, which made her feel like she was failing at everything she tried. The pivotal moment came when her trusted healthcare provider of over 15 years reassured her that surgery was the best step for her. Initially, Lorrie hadn’t considered surgery because she had never undergone one before and didn’t know much about it.

Why Did You Choose to Go to The Better Weigh Center?

Lorrie chose The Better Weigh Center after hearing about the positive experience of a friend who had surgery with Dr. Stegmann. Her friend shared how thorough Dr. Stegmann was, answering every question with care.
