Christy Macklin

    Video Testimonial
 
Christy Macklin wanted to go to Disney World.

"I was always heavy … like everybody in my family. In my late teens, I was 252 pounds and wearing a size 24, I was too embarrassed to go out. So I watched TV and ate Reece Cups. But I didn't want to be the way I was.

I heard about gastric bypass surgery from a news story on TV. I found Dr. Boyce and went to the seminar at Parkwest Medical Center. There was lots of information that night. I knew this was my ticket out.

I had surgery in August 2005 and lost almost 120 pounds within a year. The mall, foreign territory for me, became my hangout. I bought clothes in every size as I lost and gave them away without a regret. It's fun to fit in smaller sizes - affordable and fashionable!

Where I had only known one way of existing, I gained confidence and suddenly my world opened up. I have a great job and I'm working on my law degree. I drive a sports car like the young, pretty girls I used to envy. And I have no sagging skin - none."

Christy Macklin had gastric bypass surgery in August, 2005 at Parkwest Medical Center, a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence, and member of Covenant Health.
