Jay's Story - A Healthier, Happier Person Through A Sleeve Gastrectomy

Jay kept getting heavier despite all attempts to lose weight. He finally received help through a sleeve gastrectomy - surgery that reduces the stomach to 15% of its original size.
"It was pretty hard for me. Nobody wants to admit their flaws. Nobody wants to talk about them needing help," says Renown Health Clinical Nursing Supervisor, Jay. "I didn't like the person I was or the person I was becoming. I was heading down a path of being really unhealthy, weighing the heaviest I've ever weighed, and not having success in trying to lose the weight on my own."
Jay's insurance covered the gastric sleeve surgery at Renown Health, which involved getting counseling from a staff registered dietitian.
At his heaviest, Jay weighed 380 pounds. Nearly a year since the bariatric surgery, Jay has lost 151 pounds. "I thought it was going to be one of those things that when it came to eating that, if I didn't eat enough that I was going to have a really hard time, says Jay. I still get to eat some of the foods I really like, but there is some stuff that I stay away from. Food is what I need to survive. It's not what I need to feel good about myself."
Jay says he did the gastric sleeve surgery for his three boys. "I need to be around for them," says Jay.
