Procedure: Gastric Sleeve
Surgeon: Dr. James Augusta
JourneyLite Patient | Surgery: September 2024
“I’ve lived in a larger body for as long as I can remember. My weight became part of my identity—even when I didn’t want it to be.
For years, I tried to make progress on my own. Choosing gastric sleeve surgery at JourneyLite became the tool that finally helped me move forward. Cravings are quieter, my routine is steadier, and I’m learning how to care for myself consistently. I feel lighter—physically and emotionally—and I’m building a lifestyle I can maintain.
The JourneyLite team supported me every step of the way. The calls, texts, and virtual check-ins made me feel seen, guided, and confident through every phase of the process.
The moment that changed everything for me? I’m a mom to a 9-year-old son. Years ago, we had to get off a roller coaster because the safety bar wouldn’t close. Today, that’s no longer my reality. I fit. I ride. We laugh. We make memories—without limits.
If I could go back, I wouldn’t have waited so long. Aside from becoming a mother, this has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’m not at the finish line yet—but for the first time, I’m truly proud of the path I’m on.”
