Dr. Rachel L. Moore Featured in Bariatric Times

We love to hear and share your success
stories. Our patients are our inspiration.
I had been overweight my entire life. I tried diet after diet without success. Also, I tried to get pregnant for over a year without success. I began to worry that I may not be able to get pregnant on my own, due to health issues. I knew I had to do something.
The most significant change in my life since having gastric sleeve with Dr. Moore is that I got pregnant after only trying for two months, and had my son Rylan. I was shocked and beyond happy. I had begun to worry that my dream of having a family would never happen because of health issues.
Also, I have never felt better. I didn’t even realize how bad I felt before because I didn’t have anything to compare it to. I remember going to Disney World 3 years ago when I was at my highest weight. I struggled so much to keep up with everyone else, but my pride would never let it show so I kept going and going. I remember feeling so worn down by the end of the day and wondering how I would ever do it with children in the future. Then, a few months ago I returned and it was an emotional experience for me. I was shocked at the difference, and that I was feeling so good even after so much walking in the extreme heat.
What’s crazy is when I used to look in the mirror I never saw the girl in my before picture. I’ve always been happy, outgoing, and confident. What has changed is that now I physically feel better, and clothing shopping is much more fun! This surgery has changed my life and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

I'm 5 years out from my surgery and have never looked back. My only regret was that I didn't have the surgery sooner.
