Weight loss surgery worked for Shadonna. This proud mom lost 100 pounds after years of dieting and being diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure. Here is what she shared about losing the weight:
“My name is Shadonna Cornish and I’ve been having problems with my weight for over 10 years. I tried every weight loss plan and diet I could think of, even diet pills. I continued to be unsuccessful, so I began to live with it and except it. I began to define my self as a big girl. As I did that I was ok with it for a while but about 5 years ago I found out I had diabetes. So, I tried the weight lost thing again still no success. Then 2 1/2 years ago, I was told I have high blood pressure and also heart problems. At 340 pounds I had to look at myself and I came to the realization that I was on a one way ride to death. I started to speak life into myself and told myself saying “I SHALL LIVE AND NOT DIE”!!! I began to look at the surgery and my heart was set on the sleeve but the gasic bypass was the best one for me. I was so scared and wasn’t sure I wanted to follow through with surgery but I had to keep telling myself “I SHALL LIVE AND NOT DIE”, so that meant I had to do something. On June 18, 2013, I had gastric bypass weight reduction surgery and began to live again. Today, I’m 100 pounds down and I’m so grateful I decided to live. To all the women who tried everything in your own power to lose weight and still struggling with this issue, I say that the surgery is here to help you Live AND NOT DIE… Make your choice today… My motivation is definitely my children.”
