Thank you Arelis for sharing your journey with vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG).

"I’m Arelis—most people call me Reli. I had VSG on June 23rd, 2020.
As a first-generation Dominican American, food has always been a big part of my culture and my life. By the time I got to college, I had tried just about everything to lose weight—gyms, bootcamps, pills, programs, even Dominican home remedies.
By 2018, I was around 275 pounds. I had been diagnosed with PCOS, experienced a few miscarriages, was dealing with chronic back pain, and had high cholesterol. That’s when I realized it was time to make a real change—for me.
Choosing weight loss surgery has truly changed my life—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. I’ve maintained a 135-pound weight loss, which has helped me better manage my back pain and improve my cholesterol without needing medication.
More importantly, this journey has given me a completely new mindset, meaningful connections, and a version of myself I’m really proud of.
I didn’t just lose weight—I found myself."
