Testimonial of Pam Bucklew
In May 2008, I decided to lose weight. Later that year in November, I had gastric bypass surgery, drastically changing my life. Before the surgery, I had high blood pressure, acid reflux, knee pain and other ailments. Now I don’t have any of those conditions.
My original weight was 301 pounds and my goal was to lose 140 pounds. I reached my goal and maintained that weight for a year. In 2010, I had a tummy tuck and lost additional weight for a total weight loss of 170 pounds. I used to wear a women’s size 30; now I wear a size 4.
I am a mentor for Tidewater Surgical Weight Loss, supporting both patients who are considering and preparing for gastric bypass and those who have had the surgery. I tell them to succeed in the program, you have to follow the rules and the rules are eat less than three grams of fat, eat less than three grams of sugar, and attend the support group meetings.
