When it came time to lose weight, one woman set out to meet her goal of slimming down for her wedding. Kris Bruce had already tried exercising, drinking liquid shakes, and taking pills, but she ended up regaining any weight she lost. Before her wedding, she hired a personal trainer for the entire family and while she struggled, everyone else lost weight.
“I watched my husband lose weight. I watched my stepson lose weight. I watched my daughter lose weight. And I was gaining weight,” said Kris to ABC 30 News.
Weight-induced health problems led Kris to a Fresno bariatric surgeon who discussed her options for gastric bypass surgery and sleeve gastrectomy. After spending time doing research on bariatric surgery, Kris decided to undergo gastric sleeve surgery and has never looked back.
“Now, I’m getting involved in community events. I’m getting involved in more things,” said Kris. “I’m not afraid to walk up to somebody and just say hi and shake their hand; I would have never done that before.”
