Real patient experiences from Florida Surgery & Weight Loss Center in Hollywood, Florida.
Before weight loss surgery, Marielsy says her weight was affecting her health, confidence, and everyday life at a very young age.
“I couldn’t even walk two blocks without feeling short of breath.”
At just 24 years old, she was struggling with prediabetes, high cholesterol, low energy, and physical limitations that made daily activities difficult.
“I felt uncomfortable in my own body and unhappy with my health.”
After trying multiple weight loss methods without long-term success, she began researching bariatric surgery and discussing options with her primary care doctor.
“I realized I needed a real solution for my health and future.”
After learning more about bariatric surgery online and speaking with her doctor, Marielsy made the decision quickly.
“I had tried everything before surgery, and nothing truly worked long term.”
She decided to move forward with treatment at Florida Surgery & Weight Loss Center and says it became one of the best decisions of her life.
“My goal was simple — I wanted my health and confidence back.”
Marielsy describes her experience with the team as supportive, caring, and life-changing.
“The staff and doctors treated me with kindness from the very beginning.”
She says the entire process felt organized, encouraging, and comfortable throughout her journey.
“If I had to do it all over again, I would absolutely choose them again.”
Marielsy also credits Dr. Sergey Terushkin for helping guide her through the process and supporting her transformation.
“Dr. Terushkin changed my life.”
According to Marielsy, the care she received helped her feel confident and motivated every step of the way.
“He truly listens to his patients and wants the best for them.”
Just seven months after surgery, Marielsy says her life feels completely different.
“I can walk, run, jog at the park, and enjoy being active again.”
She now has more energy, improved mobility, and feels significantly healthier overall.
“I’m finally enjoying my life.”
Marielsy says she has gone from wearing size 22 jeans to size 5 and feels more confident than ever before.
“I feel like a completely new person.”
She also reports major improvements in her health, including better blood sugar levels, improved thyroid function, better sleep, less joint pain, and fewer medications.
“My health improved right along with the number on the scale.”
Looking back at old photos reminds her how much her life has changed.
“When I see my before pictures now, I realize how unhealthy I truly felt back then.”
Today, Marielsy says choosing weight loss surgery was one of the most important decisions she has ever made.
“I’ve never looked back.”
