“I Finally Feel Like Myself Again” — Nyala’s Weight Loss Journey
11/15/2022

Patient Success Story

Before weight loss surgery, Nyala struggled with both physical and emotional challenges that affected nearly every part of her life.

“At my heaviest, I felt exhausted, unhappy, and disconnected from myself.”

She was dealing with low energy, chronic back pain, sleep apnea, shortness of breath, and Graves’ disease while taking multiple medications. Simple daily activities became difficult, and keeping up with her toddler felt overwhelming.

“The hardest part was feeling like I couldn’t fully enjoy life with my son.”

Even though she tried to appear okay around family and friends, she knew she needed to make a major change for her health and future.

Why Nyala Chose Weight Loss Surgery

As her symptoms worsened, Nyala realized it was time to take action.

“My energy was almost nonexistent, and my back pain kept getting worse. I knew I couldn’t continue living that way.”

She wanted to improve her health, regain confidence, and become more active with her family. After learning more about bariatric surgery, she decided to move forward with treatment.

“Weight loss surgery felt like my best opportunity for a healthier life.”

Experience with Dr. Sergey Terushkin and the Team

Nyala describes her experience with Florida Surgery and Weight Loss Center as life-changing.

“From my very first appointment, I felt welcomed, supported, and cared for.”

She says the entire staff consistently showed kindness, patience, transparency, and compassion throughout her journey.

“I never felt like just another patient.”

Because her case was more complex than expected, ongoing support was especially important. Nyala says Dr. Sergey Terushkin remained involved every step of the way — answering questions, providing reassurance, and offering genuine support even after surgery.

“You don’t feel forgotten after surgery. Dr. Terushkin truly cares about his patients.”

She says one of the biggest differences at Florida Surgery and Weight Loss Center was the level of personal attention and long-term care she received.

“I never felt alone during this process.”


Life After Weight Loss Surgery

Today, Nyala says she feels healthier, stronger, and more confident.

“I finally feel like myself again.”

She now has more energy, feels comfortable in her own skin, and enjoys being more active with her son.

“We can run and play together now, and I don’t feel out of breath anymore.”

Everyday activities like climbing stairs, walking, and staying active have become much easier. Beyond the physical changes, she says the emotional transformation has been just as meaningful.

“I love myself again, and I’m grateful every day that I chose this journey.”
