Lorrie's Transformative Bariatric Journey at Better Weigh Center
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. This endorsement made Lorrie confident in her decision, and she did not look anywhere else before choosing The Better Weigh Center.
What Was Your Experience with The Better Weigh Center Like?
Lorrie’s experience with The Better Weigh Center was exceptional. Her friend was right; she was able to ask all her questions without feeling rushed. The office staff was amazing and encouraging, making the entire process comforting and supportive. Lorrie felt reassured and well cared for throughout her journey.
