Nicole

I just wanted to thank you for all of your amazing support. I have been super successful with the sleeve I got back in Feb 2020 with Dr. Brian Sung and can’t express enough gratitude. You were far more than a nutritionist, you were a friend I needed in the process, a sounding board. I had a lot of worries about the changes that come naturally, but you always gave me honest advice that calmed me down. I am living my best life now and working on the best version of myself daily! I didn’t come this far to be mediocre!

Thank you Sukwan!

I finally chose to have gastric bypass knowing that with my poorly controlled diabetes, I would have more complications as I aged. My A1C was 14 and now it’s 7! My weight was 307 lbs at my highest and I got down to the 160s. I did a 5K in 2019 and I’m training for my next one this year! Working with Sukwan has been great. She taught me what I needed to know to be successful, encouraged me, and listened to me through my struggles. She’s a great cheerleader for her patients!

At my highest weight I was 465 lbs, borderline diabetic, and not much further away from being in a wheelchair. I would tell my surgeon, Dr. Obos Ekhease, that “I feel like I am a prisoner in my own body.” 

Getting the sleeve surgery was the most positive thing I could have done. I lost 35 lbs before surgery, and afterwards the weight just started dropping off. I am now able to do active things every day - I ride my bike, go fishing with my grandson, and stay busy all of the time. At my annual physical exam, I got a clean bill of health. People can’t believe I am almost 71 and am off almost all medications! 

I eat mostly whole foods, cooked at home, including fish and lots of veggies. I have kept my weight down, but whenever I see it creep up that 10 lbs or so, I go back to the plan that Sukwan taught me. I loved working with Sukwan so much, she was my favorite of favorites!

 

Kelli

I decided to get gastric bypass because I have such a strong family history of diabetes and I knew that if I didn’t lose weight that I was destined to get it also. I also had sleep apnea and high blood pressure. Even though I studied nutrition and knew how to eat healthy, I still struggled to lose weight. Now all of my health issues have gone away and I am at my lowest weight since surgery - I’ve lost a total of 108 lbs! I always enjoyed the group meetings that Sukwan ran. She was great at facilitating really interesting topics while still promoting conversation and support among the patients.
