Real patient experiences from Florida Surgery & Weight Loss Center in Hollywood, Florida.
Before weight loss surgery, Tylisha says her weight affected nearly every part of her life.
“My weight stopped me from truly living.”
She struggled with low energy, limited mobility, and difficulty participating in activities with family and friends. As a mother, everyday responsibilities became physically exhausting.
“It even affected my ability to fully care for my son for a period of time.”
Tylisha says she often felt physically and emotionally weighed down and knew she needed to make a serious change for her health and future.
Tylisha first came to Dr. Sergey Terushkin in 2020 for lap band removal surgery.
After becoming pregnant in 2021 and gaining additional weight, she decided it was time to focus on her health again after having her baby.
“I wanted to feel stronger, healthier, and more active again.”
Following a gastric sleeve consultation, she was approved for surgery in March 2022 and moved forward with treatment.
“Choosing surgery was one of the best decisions I made for myself and my family.”
Tylisha describes the team at Florida Surgery & Weight Loss Center as supportive, caring, and organized throughout the process.
“The staff helped keep me on track with every appointment and made the process feel less overwhelming.”
She says the guidance and encouragement from the team helped her feel confident during her journey before and after surgery.
“They truly care about their patients and want to see them succeed.”
Tylisha also credits Dr. Terushkin and the staff for helping her stay motivated throughout her transformation.
“If it wasn’t for Dr. Terushkin and his team, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
According to Tylisha, the level of compassion and ongoing support made a major difference in her experience.
“They put their heart into helping patients achieve real results.”

Today, Tylisha says she feels healthier, more active, and more confident in everyday life.
“I can move around without feeling exhausted all the time.”
She now has more energy, feels physically stronger, and enjoys being able to care for her son more comfortably.
“I definitely have more pep in my step.”
Beyond the physical transformation, Tylisha says her outlook on life has completely changed.
“I’ve learned that you really can achieve the goals you set for yourself.”
She says her weight loss journey gave her a renewed sense of confidence, motivation, and hope for the future.
