Stephanie French

Hello, I'm Stephanie :-) I have struggled with my weight for most of my life. I weighed 293lbs at my highest and that was right after my second child was born. I have tried every diet under the sun and I was always able to lose weight, but not maintain my weight loss. I found out I had Hypothyroidism and was put on Synthyroid and I lost 75 pounds, but continued to struggle to keep the weight off. A couple of years ago my Dad had a heart attack and died at the age of 50. He was diabetic and had heart disease. My mother is also diabetic and has high blood pressure and other health problems. I wanted to change my fate. I am a mother of three beautiful and amazing children and I want to see them grow up and be a part of their adult lives. I knew if I didn't change my life, I wouldn't have that privilege. I am so grateful I was able to get Gastric Sleeve surgery and I believe it has changed my life for the better :-)
