Robyn's Success Story

What was your why?

The deciding factor was that Dr. Liao was brutally honest with me, and I appreciated the honesty. I had been on dialysis to treat kidney failure for two years and needed to lose weight to be qualified to be on the kidney transplant list. Dr. Liao was very truthful about my situation and life expectancy.

How did Dr. Liao help you reach your health goals?

Dr. Liao was there every step of the way. She helped me lose 25 pounds before my gastric sleeve and has helped me lose another 100 pounds after the surgery. She aided me with information and support the whole way through.

Share you biggest challenge.

The hardest part of the journey was convincing myself that I needed to do it. It is one thing to say you’ll do it, but it's another to actually do it. Dr. Liao was right there helping me with every step. She seemed to be as excited for me as I was.

Describe what your accomplishment means to you.

I have currently lost 126 pounds in 18 months. The biggest victory was seeing my life change. I have never tried to lose weight; I’ve always been big. My life depended on me getting to a lower BMI, and I did it! My life will never be the same, and I’m so grateful for people that actually care, like Dr. Liao.

What is your advice to others who wish to adopt a healthy lifestyle?

Starting this journey is hard, and it doesn’t get easy. Weight loss surgery is not a free pass to lose weight. It requires a lifestyle change forever, but it is so worth it. Dr. Liao is so helpful with her knowledge and kindness.
