Minimally Invasive Sleeve Gastrectomy
Maureen Kropf lost 87.5 pounds
Working in the movie industry may sound glamorous, but as a Set Painter, Maureen Kropf’s obesity left her sore, breathless and physically exhausted.
With a BMI of 35.8 and a weight of 221.5 pounds, she suffered from diabetes, swollen ankles and feet, arthritis and joint pain, and urinary stress incontinence. “I tried every diet but nothing worked,” she explains. “When I was placed on medication for Type II diabetes, I got serious.”
It’s been one year since Maureen’s surgery and she’s lost 87.5 pounds—that’s 100 percent of her excess weight.
Today, she weighs 134 pounds with a BMI of 22.3 and no longer takes medication for Type II diabetes.
