Trish had always been content with her weight until four years ago, when she quit smoking and subsequently gained approximately 60 pounds. “I was turning to food to compensate for not smoking,” she says. “I was overindulging.”
Post-procedure, Bearer was grateful. She appreciates the care she received and continues to receive from IRMC staff. “My knee stopped hurting when I got home and I’m feeling great,” she said. “If anybody is thinking about a gastric sleeve, I would recommend it. The team at IRMC is great and you are going to feel so much better.”
