I had been overweight my entire life. I really can\u2019t remember a time while growing up that I was not overweight. Before lap band surgery, I tried diet pills and fasting but nothing worked and I hated the way I looked in the mirror.<\/p>\n<p>When I didn\u2019t find success with my original procedure, I found Dr. Goyal from New Jersey Bariatric Center. He explained that the gastric sleeve was more effective at weight loss than the LAP-BAND\u00ae so I decided to go with that procedure. Once he removed the band and performed the gastric sleeve surgery, I started dropping the weight. I\u2019ve lost 94 lbs since my revision surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Goyal and his staff are amazing. They are like my personal cheerleaders. Alexis, the physician assistant, has been wonderful.She reminds me that I have made huge strides and that I should not be hard on myself if I have an off day because I am moving in the right direction. Their support has made all the difference in the world. I have changed mentally as well as physically.  My self-esteem has risen and I am so proud of the work I put into my body and my results.  I am so happy I made the decision to get revision surgery. Since then I love that I can now walk up the stairs without feeling like I can\u2019t catch my breath.  I am so much healthier now.<\/p>\n<p>Not only would I recommend New Jersey Bariatric Center, I already have.  I am living proof that my revision surgery plus the lifestyle changes that I made, works.  I know that if i had not gotten the surgery, I would have never gotten this far in my weight loss journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":29296,"template":"","story-tag":[47],"patientsuccess_stories":[43,38],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Nakeishia Lost 94 Lbs.* - New Jersey Bariatric Center<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"When I didn\u2019t find success with my original procedure, I found Dr. Goyal from New Jersey Bariatric Center.
