  • Patient Danielle: I Lost 100 Lbs & Here's What Happened Next
    Jan 9 2025
    After losing 100 pounds ten years ago, Danielle found herself with a new and different set of issues she hadn’t expected—and that her bariatric surgeon hadn’t prepared her for.

    Opening up about her motivations and the obstacles she’s overcome, Danielle shares the realities of her life after significant weight loss, including the need for multiple procedures, the importance of realistic expectations and a strong support system in recovery.

    Her path to feeling comfortable in her skin is nothing short of remarkable. After her gastric bypass, Danielle started with a tummy tuck with Dr. James Vogel. She then worked with Dr. Houssock for a full body makeover, including a thigh lift, mons lift, 360 lipo, and BodyTite. Later, she addressed her arms and chest with an arm lift, breast lift, and finally breast augmentation.

    Find out:

    • Danielle’s top recovery tips for the best results
    • The importance of scheduling downtime into your busy life
    • How she’s feeling about her results today
