Medical Weight Loss Program Success: How Rose Lost 68 lbs with Zepbound®

I lost 68 pounds and it started with finally deciding to stop going it alone. I'd been overweight since my early 30s, and no matter how much I tried with diet and exercise, the scale wouldn't budge. It just made me feel more self-conscious. When I heard about the results others were getting with weight loss medications and bariatric surgery, something clicked. I enrolled in New Jersey Bariatric Center®’s Medical Weight Loss Program - MWL@NJBC, started taking GLP-1 medication - Zepbound®. The program offers muscle preservation classes which I participate in and nutrition support. I was happy that the weight finally started coming off.

Why I Chose Weight Loss Medication

Every morning on my way to work, I'd climb the stairs at the train station, no elevator, no escalator, no choice. I started dreading those stairs. The pressure on my feet, knees, and back with every step made it clear my weight was catching up with me in ways I couldn't ignore.

I'd already been through surgery for other medical conditions, so I wasn't eager to add another procedure to the list. When my primary doctor referred me to NJBC, I did my research first. Their patient stories and before-and-after photos were genuinely motivating, and the information on different weight loss medications helped me figure out which option made the most sense for me.

I decided to enroll in MWL@NJBC, where I started taking Zepbound® and ultimately lost 68 lbs.
