By many accounts, Jennifer was a success. She was happily married, the mother of healthy twins, and successful professionally. But by her own measure, Jennifer felt like a failure.

A lifelong struggle with weight had left her waking up in pain, constantly fatigued, and feeling disconnected from her best self.

Tired of yo-yo diets and fads, she looked for a permanent solution -- and found it at the Duke Center for Metabolic and Weight Loss Surgery. Now 140 pounds lighter, she credits much of her success to Duke’s team approach.

“I felt like I had a whole group of professionals around me to help me make this incredible journey.”

Jennifer
Cary, North Carolina
