GUEST BLOGGER: How I Got My Life Back with SleeveMD: Linda's Journey to Bariatric Surgery Success!

Hello friends! My name is Linda, and I want to share my incredible journey of transformation with you. It’s more exciting than a fairytale, complete with challenges and triumphs along the way. Here’s how my life changed dramatically thanks to the amazing team at SleeveMD, particularly Dr. Irshad and Dr. Kundhal.

The Struggle is Real

Picture this: I was a woman in her fabulous forties, managing two kids while trying to keep my life in balance. Like many, I had a deep love for food, which turned into a struggle after my pregnancies. After giving birth to my two children, my weight skyrocketed to over 220 pounds, making me feel trapped in a body I didn’t recognize.

I tried every diet I could find; I experimented with keto, had a brief fling with paleo, and even dabbled in intermittent fasting. I even turned to Ozempic. Despite my dedication, the weight remained stubbornly out of reach, leading to frustration and disappointment.

Enter SleeveMD

After countless failed attempts, I knew I needed something more impactful. That’s when I discovered SleeveMD. Walking into that clinic felt like being wrapped in a warm hug. The atmosphere was supportive and inviting, like stepping into a team of enthusiastic cheerleaders.

When I met Dr. Irshad and Dr. Kundhal, I felt an instant connection. They were not just medical professionals—they were compassionate allies in my weight loss journey. They listened to my stories, validated my struggles, and provided insights tailored to my needs.

The Moment of Decision

After thoughtful discussions, I made the decision to go through with bariatric surgery. While excitement bubbled inside me, I was also apprehensive. However, both doctors took the time to answer all my questions. On the day of surgery, I felt surprisingly calm, which I later realized was thanks to a little pre-surgery sedative!

The surgery itself was a success, with no complications. I woke up not just feeling lighter physically, but my emotional burden also lifted. I was ready to step into my new life.

Gym Rat in the Making

Fast forward nine months, and I am a transformed woman! I now hit the gym several times a week, and I've achieved my goal weight of 145 pounds. I can proudly say I bench press more than just my kids!

I love the quarterly follow-up appointments with my surgeons. They continue to support and motivate me. Seeing them reminds me of just how far I’ve come, and it feels fantastic.

Building Healthy Habits

This journey has not only transformed my life but also inspired my family. My kids see me making healthier choices, leading us to prepare exciting meals together—who knew smoothies could taste this good?

I now lead the way in family activities, whether it’s hiking or biking. Family outings that once exhausted me now energize me. For instance, just last weekend, we tackled a 5-mile nature trail together, and I could keep up with my kids effortlessly!

The place where magic happens: my gym!

Grateful Beyond Words

Reflecting on my journey brings so much joy. My past struggles seem like a faded memory, replaced by happiness and vitality. The attentive care I received from Dr. Irshad and Dr. Kundhal was invaluable. They were with me at every milestone, providing support that felt like family.

Unlike previous clinics where I felt like just another patient, at SleeveMD, I was treated like an individual with unique dreams and fears.
