In 2023, she had gastric sleeve surgery and since then, she’s lost 205 pounds!

This kind of change goes so far beyond the number on the scale. It takes real commitment, showing up on the hard days, trusting the process through plateaus, and doing the work long after the surgery is behind you.

We’re so proud of you, Cristy! 👏

Another awesome transformation!

This didn’t happen overnight. It happened because someone kept showing up, even on the hard days.
Hard work. Consistency. A whole lot of choosing to keep going.

A lot of patients come to us feeling stuck. This is your sign that you don’t have to stay feeling that way and we can help you get on a path like this one.

Thank you for trusting me with something as personal as your health, and for taking the time afterward to tell others what that experience was actually like.
This is exactly why I do this work.

GLP-1 pill or injection: which one's actually right for you? Let's break it down.

Both work the same way in the body: regulating appetite, digestion, and blood sugar. The real differences come down to how they're delivered —and that changes a few things.

GLP-1 Injections bypass digestion entirely and go straight into the bloodstream. In clinical trials, they've shown slightly higher average weight loss around 15-20%.

On the other hand, GLP-1 pills have to survive your digestive system first, which took years of science to figure out. Oral GLP-1s show real, meaningful results too, around 10-13% weight loss in trials.

Here's the thing: Patients who'd rather skip the needle often find a daily pill easier to stick with long-term, and consistency matters more than which option looks better on paper.

Neither is universally "better." It comes down to your health profile, your lifestyle, and what you can actually maintain.

✨ A little discipline, a lot of hard work, and just a touch of SADI-S magic ✨

One day, Tyler decided today was the day.

And that decision changed everything. Over 240+ lbs later, his journey has been nothing short of incredible.

This isn’t just a before and after. It’s proof of what happens when you finally choose yourself.

“Reclaim your Health”

08/19/2026

Something I tell every patient before surgery is that the surgery itself, isn’t the hardest part. What happens after is.

That’s why we stick to a close follow-up schedule here: 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months out. I want to see you, not just hear from you for the challenges and the successes!

These visits aren’t just check-the-box appointments. They’re how I make sure you’re doing well, staying on track with your diet, and actually seeing the progress you should be seeing.

Here’s the truth: small issues are easy to fix early. But if we go months without talking and something’s been off the whole time? That becomes much harder to -correct.
Your success isn’t just about the day of surgery. It’s about staying consistent the whole way through.
