Andrea Wanted to Get Healthy and Lost 142 Pounds with Professional Weight Management
Excessive weight was causing health issues and Andrea needed to make a big change. So she coupled gastric bypass with a weight loss plan at Professional Weight Management. It was the lifestyle change she needed to get healthy.
“Okay, so the impact that it’s had on my health: I am no longer pre-diabetic. My A1C is perfect. My blood pressure is normal. I’m no longer taking any medication for blood pressure or for the pseudo tumor cerebral that I experienced. I’m off of all medications completely and my A1C is perfect.
Oh, my goodness! I’m able to play with my son. I can use the stairs now. I don’t have to have a seatbelt extender in my car. Clothes obviously are super fun now and yeah, it’s just been amazing.”

Read Andrea’s complete story:
Well, I had a lot of medical issues. I had something called pseudo tumor cerebral palsy, and it was causing me a lot of pain. And it got to a point where I was going to have to have a medical procedure where they were going to put a shunt in, and it was either that or do weight loss surgery. And so I chose to do that.
I come here to both get my snacks and food that work well. But also I'm two years out actually tomorrow from my having gastric bypass. And I need that accountability. I've kept it off the entire time. And I come here to make sure that that stays happening, That I stay healthy.
I started here several years ago and lost enough weight to get pregnant finally with my son and then I came back and started here again. And then because of all the different co-morbidities that I had, I ended up having to do this surgery and then stayed here so that I could work through that with the food that they offer and with the support. When you have had gastric bypass, you have to maintain a certain level of protein daily. And so Tammi was able to keep me achieving that protein number every day with with the food options that she has here.
And she helped me stay on track and make sure that I wasn't eating any slider foods and things like that that can really get you and have you put it back on. So I spoke to my doctor about the options that were out there and that this is the one that I wanted to do it. That I had success pre-surgery and that I wanted to continue it and make sure that it was okay.
The same things that are offered here food wise are the same ones that that the doctor recommends. I have lost a total of 142 pounds.. Oh, my goodness! I'm able to play with my son. I can use the stairs now. I don't have to have a seatbelt extender in my car. Clothes obviously are super fun now and yeah, it's just been amazing.
Okay, so the impact that it's had on my health: I am no longer pre-diabetic. My A1C is perfect. My blood pressure is normal. I'm no longer taking any medication for blood pressure or for the pseudo tumor cerebral that I experienced. I'm off of all medications completely and my A1C is perfect.
Yeah, I would recommend coming to Professional Weight Management, not only for the amazing support and for the plan that they offer that really truly works, but for the food. I mean, there's all kinds of options out there of ways that you can get hold of these things. But there's nothing better than to come in here and get it with your hands instead of having to go through different websites or Amazon. And so I've spoken a lot about about the support that you get here at Professional Weight Management and how, you know, how important it is and how necessary for your future success.
So the best part for me about Professional Weight Management is how much I'm able to take what I learn here and apply it to my family. Both my husband and my son have benefited greatly from what I've learned here, and they both have come with me and they all eat the snacks as well. We just love it here.
