Down 37
pounds in
5 months!
BEFORE
In Shawna’s case, after five months,
she has lost a total of 37 pounds—her
goal was to lose 30-35. So far, the
process has been pretty effortless.
“I just took the trip of a lifetime
to the Amazon,” she says, “I ate
different foods, I was in a different
environment … and the balloon
didn’t hold me back at all! I was
amazed.”
Since she had the Orbera procedure,
she’s been cooking up a storm at
home, switching from a steady diet
of pasta, pizza and lasagna to one
focused on fresh produce, organic
lean meats and almond milk. Now,
she says, she loves to cook healthy
meals for herself and her family.
It’s not just the weight loss that
Shawna is thrilled about (although
it’s the most obvious benefit she’s
experienced). She’s also sleeping
better, has clearer skin and is feeling
more energized and toned. The
newfound pep in her step makes it
much easier to get daily exercise,
too. “I go for long walks on the
country roads,” she says, “and I
use the elliptical three or four times
a week. I even enjoy gardening
now!” And when she’s at her sales
coordinator job, she has better focus
and can get through her day more
efficiently.
Not surprisingly, her coworkers can’t
help but notice her svelte look,
which makes Shawna happy. She
loves to share her story of how she’s
managed to finally lose weight.
“I’m hoping I can impact others in a
positive way,” she says with a smile.
“I feel like I’m able to push people
to achieve their own goals. I want
everyone to feel better, physically
and emotionally.”
Along with taking up space in
the stomach, the Orbera balloon
AFTER
changes the way your body makes
the hormones that cause hunger,
meaning you won’t feel as hungry
as often. For Shawna, that meant
her decreased appetite led her to
eating less without feeling deprived,
something she had never been able
to achieve back when she would
skip meals and hope that would
do the weight-loss trick. Nowadays,
she feels lighter, her clothes have
gotten a lot looser and her younger-
than-her husband is having trouble
keeping up with her.
