At 260lbs 2006. I decided to have weight loss surgery and lost a whopping 100lbs. While working within the hospital I discovered Bariatric Solutions has an HMR program and was in need of a Health Educator. WOW! I not only learned to Coach but, I began to practice what I was teach'n and lost 15 more lbs. I have maintained 115lbs. off for 5 years and HMR helped save my life =) I'm proud of the HMR program for their support, weekly strategies, and keeping me accountable. Surgery was just a tool and HMR showed me the lifestyle change that needed to happen for me to be successful.
