Weight Loss Success Stories
Stephanie Talbot
"I wanted to share my success story. VSG (Sleeve Gastrectomy) 6/2021, revised to RNY (Gastric Bypass) because of reflux 3/2022. Part one skin removal 1/2024. Part two this summer! I can run circles around my kids! I feel better at 39 than I did at 20!"
Chris Talbot
"My husband had RNY(Gastric Bypass) 6/2022! Dr. Naziri did that! No more cpap or hypertension meds. A1c is down. No more rescue inhalers!" - Stephanie Talbot
Courtney Johnson
"My son just turned two prior to my surgery with Dr Chapman. I remember him asking to go outside to play, and he said “Mommy can’t go, she’s too tired.” It was that moment (or punch in the gut, rather) that I KNEW I needed to change - not just for myself, but for my son! Now I’m able to play with my children, enjoy life, and teach my family about making good decisions and taking care of their bodies while I’m doing the same. Dr Chapman and his staff made the entire surgical process such a breeze! The support you feel is second to none. The hardest step is always the first step, and I hope your first step is right to Southern Surgical Associates! "

"My starting weight was 368lbs and I just had my one year check up and I'm 252. I have lost 116lbs. I got my life back I don't even remember that girl in the black dress. I can walk, I can dance, I can ride my motorcycle. I didn't want to do it at first but I'm so happy I did. I got 52lbs to go. In my second current photo I feel like me again I just wore my first pair of size 16 jeans and I felt sexy and free. Losing weight saved my life."

"Just want to say Dr.Chapman change my life on 7/9/21. I was struggling with my weight and had chronic pain in my lower back and hips. Having gastric bypass surgery and losing 150 pounds I don't hurt anyone. Thank you to Dr.Chapman and the staff at southern surgical. Also Nutrition at Best for all the support."

"I decided to pursue weight loss surgery because I have an auto immune disease; Graves' Disease to be specific. Several years ago, my thyroid was ablated and my thyroid levels are maintained through medication. I found though that as time went on, my weight continued to climb and I could not get a hold of it (which is common after thyroid ablation). A friend of mine who had recently had weight loss surgery recommended Southern Surgical so I had my primary care doctor refer me. From the start the process seemed very overwhelming but it went by very quickly and painlessly. Dr. Chapman was great through the whole process. Since surgery I feel so much better physically. You don't realize how bad you feel until you start to feel better! I feel so much more comfortable in my clothes and in my own skin. I am much more active now. I was able to decrease the dosage of my Omeprazole and thyroid medicine. My back pain is significantly better. Overall I just feel like a million bucks. I am so grateful to Dr. Chapman and Southern Surgical!"

Jade Williams
"Making the decision to change my health was the easiest and best thing I could have done for myself and family! I would do it 100 times again! After years of multiple diets failing over and over, having the sleeve gastrectomy was the best tool to finally help me be successful."
Hunter Morris
"I had gastric sleeve almost two years ago, June 18th 2021 and I'm down 160 pounds, lost a total of 166 pounds. Completed my fist 10k and half marathon this weekend so surgery has been life changing! The before picture was my heaviest from April 2021 and my after picture is April 2023."
Henry Parrish
"I just wanted to take a moment and express how much I am thankful to everyone at southern surgical. I just hit a milestone today that would not have been possible before. I am down to 244 pounds as of this morning. In January of 2023 I weighed 346.6 pounds. The heaviest I ever had weighed as an adult. I truly feel that everyone involved in my care there has saved my life. I can do things now that I couldn’t a year ago. I am truly grateful to everyone at Southern Surgical."
