Megan
39-year old Megan Duplain was tired of battling the extra weight she couldn't lose after her second child was born. Fulfilling her role as wife, mom of two children, and full time teacher, she was tired all of the time. After a long day at work, she came home to an energetic 10-month old who was ready for "mommy time"! Megan knew her fatigue and lack of energy were due to her being overweight.
Her "ah-hah" moment came when she heard about the POSE procedure. She knew it was the answer to her ongoing issues with her weight. Megan never hesitated. She called the Surgical Specialists of Louisiana and flew to New Orleans from her home in Arizona. After her surgery on a Tuesday morning she was back in Arizona on Thursday with "no aches, no pains, not even a sore throat".
"I love that I fill up quickly. I eat three small meals a day. I'm training my mind; my body knows I'm not hungry!" Megan has lost 21 pounds and has the energy to keep up with the demands from so many who need her!
Charlotte
"I'm just very rarely hungry. It's amazing!" exclaims Charlotte who, thanks to the POSE procedure performed by the Surgical Specialists of Louisiana, was able to stop taking all her blood pressure medications. "That is a super change!"
Charlotte had tried for years to drop the extra pounds. When her doctor told her about the new, innovative POSE procedure, she was ready. In just three months she had lost 19 pounds! Her friends shower her with compliments about her slimmer figure. Not only does she look great, she feels so much better. She's exercising, taking Zumba classes and enjoying life without daily blood pressure medication. "It's all very good!" she sums up with a big smile.
Cindy
In high school Cindy was a cheerleader and homecoming queen. "As I got older I kept putting on weight. I tried every diet that came on the market. Nothing worked." she says.
After receiving the POSE procedure at the Surgical Specialists of Louisiana, she dropped 50 pounds in 18 months and now feels strong and confident. Cindy is amazed at how much less food she needs to maintain her elevated energy levels. The unhealthy cravings are gone and her food choices have drastically changed. "It was so easy and the outcome has been fantastic! People start noticing you and how you look. It makes you feel so much better about yourself."
