Weight loss surgery changed my outlook on life.
The weight loss surgery changed my outlook on life. Before, I felt tired and run down all the time; I had zero energy. I know the weight had a lot to do with that, along with me feeling depressed about myself. Now my energy is great and I feel like a new person. My depression has lifted, I want to go and do things and be around people. Dr. Scott explained the procedure very well. The group seminar the physicians hold for potential patients is very detailed. The biggest help I received was from Natalie, Dr. Scott's Bariatric Nurse Coordinator. She explained the feelings I might experience and what things to expect and watch for. She was so helpful. She relaxed me and gave me the confidence I needed to get through the surgery.

Tammy has a healthy new outlook on life since surgeon J. Stephen Scott, MD performed gastric bypass surgery.
Because of my gastric bypass surgery, I have been given a second chance at life. I have been obese my entire life and never thought I could enjoy the health and physical appearance I have today. Between March 2005 and November 2005, I have lost 135 pounds. I hope to never again take my health for granted. I enjoy spending time with my family, church activities, exercising and working with our local fair board.
