The before is a picture of me over three years ago performing in a production of Once Upon a Mattress as Queen Aggravain. The after is a picture of me 3 years and 198 lbs after surgery performing in a production of Tom Jones (with at least 4 inches of padded hips to match the fashion of the 1760s). Can you believe that I needed to pad my hips? I'd like to thank Dr. Scarborough and the wonderful professionals at TLC for helping me to make this transformation. The Gastric Sleeve with a twist was like a miracle that changed my life. I have had a healthy, happy life over the last three years and the future looks great! I wish I could pass this on to others.
