Jennifer’s 235-pound Weight Loss Journey
Jennifer Ballew understood that her weight was making things difficult for her body. After all, her blood pressure was always high – even while taking two different blood pressure medications. But when a close friend of hers suffered a fatal heart attack, she knew she needed to get serious about weight loss. That’s when she discovered that bariatric surgery at Longstreet Clinic’s Center for Weight Management offered her a lasting solution to both her weight and cardiac concerns. Book an appointment now.
Jennifer’s Story
Jennifer’s lasting weight loss journey began during her first visit with Dr. Velazquez. She started seeing concrete losses even before her surgery, dropping 60 pounds while following a pre-surgery diet and routine.
Since undergoing a gastric bypass on Sept. 13, 2023, Jennifer has lost 235 pounds. She no longer suffers from high blood pressure or body aches. She’s off all blood pressure medications, and she’s living an active and fulfilling lifestyle with two children.
