From Frustrated to Fit: Hear How Bariatric Surgery Restored Her Health

Jan Zileski was frustrated by her inability to lose weight and lower her dangerously high BMI. Bariatric surgery turned out to be the tool she needed to regain a healthy weight. She encourages others in similar circumstances to talk to their family doctor, explore the options and perhaps attend a support group meeting. “Surgery was the best thing I could have done for myself and I’m so glad I did,” she said. “I feel better about everything in life. Best of all, I feel healthy.”

MidMichigan Health offers bariatric surgery in both Alma and Midland. Our bariatric surgeons have performed more than 3,000 surgeries. Those who would like more information about surgical weight management may watch MidMichigan’s online seminar videos.
