Success Stories

Karen Gosselin shares her weight loss journey with Dr. Andrew Wu and CMC's New England Weight Management Institute. 'This has given me my confidence back. I knew it was going to be life-changing. I didn't know it was going to be this life-changing.'

“This surgery changed my entire life! My activity with my kids is so much higher and my self-confidence is at an all-time high!”—Melissa, now 115 lbs lighter than before her gastric bypass surgery at CMC.

“Because of NEWMI and the bariatric program I can now ride a bike, hike in the beautiful mountains of NH, and most importantly, I no longer need a seat belt extension when I fly! All I ever wanted to do was ride a roller coaster—four months post gastric bypass I did just that at Universal in Florida! No testing the seats, no worrying if I would fit. All things I wanted to do or wished I could do, but you know, you’re not motivated to do until you lose the weight!”

“Before weight loss surgery, I thought about food all the time. I still do but the difference now is I am in control of my choices and how those choices support my success.”
Phil, now 80 lbs lighter than before his gastric sleeve procedure at CMC.
