Jacob Schuette

Procedure: Gastric Sleeve

Total Weight Loss: 90.5 lbs in 3 months

Medical Conditions Resolved: high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high cholesterol

I had high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. My biggest frustrations were not being able to fit into airplane seats, roller coaster seats, or chairs at a doctor’s office. Being overweight stopped me from realizing what I was doing to myself. “Oh well, let’s get bigger clothes!” or “I just won’t fly anymore.” No more. Being overweight blinded me from the life I could have had. I put off the decision because I thought I could lose the weight myself. The moment I decided to do the surgery was when my cardiologist told me I needed to lose weight so I could fit into the operating table for an ablation. He gave me three months and I gained 15 pounds. Embarrassing. That was the defining moment for me. The Bariatric Experts team had all of the information. There wasn’t any doubt about financials, the process before, or the process after. There are no excuses with them. Even during a pandemic. My life has done a total 180. I can walk without feeling tired and I walk faster when in the grocery store. My hands fit into my girlfriend’s hands better. I fit into 3x shirts after being 6x for the longest time. The #1 thing I enjoy the most is the years I have added to my life. I was concerned if I was going to make it to 40. Now I know I will make it to my later years!
