Courtney Wagenblast and I took this image after her two-year post-op office yesterday. She has such a great story and shows how quickly you can completely transform your health and life after weight loss surgery.
She is one of those patients who committed to losing weight with a vengeance. She faced several roadblocks along the journey, but remained focused on her goal — no matter what. Courtney began her weight loss journey with the lap band but experienced complications with it and eventually underwent revisional bariatric surgery to change to the gastric sleeve.
Throughout this evolution, this busy mother has been kind enough to share her own personal tips and tools which helped to achieve her goal weight (2012):
- Courtney’s list of the most useful Internet weight loss tools.
- In September 2012, she was invited to be part of a panel hosted by Obesity Help during their National Conference in Atlanta and modeled in their evening Fashion Show as well.
- Courtney speaks on video about why bariatric surgery was the best solution for her.
