Despite previously having the gastric band, Jessie’s weight continued to creep upwards to a high of 380lbs. On May 7, 2018 she decided to have the duodenal switch with Dr. Scarborough. Since losing her 1st 50lbs, you can already see the difference in her clothes! What a great comparison! Jessie has been able to accomplish everyday tasks with more ease: doing laundry, and standing to cook supper for her family without taking rest breaks! Her energy level is outstanding! It’s been 1 year since Jessie had her Duodenal Switch and she has lost 172lbs!! Her tips and tricks for staying on track: getting NO LESS THAN 30min EXERCISE daily (walking, swimming), never leaving the house without a full water bottle and a protein snack. She recognizes the importance of packing her own healthy snacks in case “head hunger” aka emotional eating kicks in. Recently, Jessie went to Vegas and easily logged in 7 miles of walking (something she couldn’t imagine accomplishing a year ago). 3 Cheers to Jessie for her continued hard work!
