Weight loss surgery worked for Shadonna. Â This proud mom lost 100 pounds after years of dieting and being diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure. Â 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.”
