    Video Testimonial
 
Julie Sharp wanted to be a part of everything.

"I'm a teacher with two kids. At 240 pounds, I couldn't stoop to take care of them. I couldn't move fast enough to play with them. And I felt like a hypocrite trying to feed them right and teach them about being healthy.

I was overweight at age 17 and kept gaining and gaining, despite trying every diet, every pill. The way people looked at me … like they were disgusted. My husband said 'I love you just the way you are' … but I didn't love myself. Not one bit.




    Before and After
   
I went to a few seminars, but my insurance company recommended Dr. Boyce at the Covenant Weight Management Center. I had gastric bypass in 2005 and I was up and walking around the same day and lost 11 pounds the first week. In fact, I lost 97 pounds in less than a year.

Now I teach aerobics two days a week, play ball with the kids, and set a good example for them. I'm healthy, active and happy. The kids see old pictures and don't recognize me!"

Julie Sharp had gastric bypass surgery in July, 2005 at Parkwest Medical Center, a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence, and member of Covenant Health.
