Nicole & Jason – Cravings

Nicole & Jason – Cravings

by Dr. Tom Lavin / Thursday, 01 August 2019 / Published in Patient Stories

For Nicole and Jason, cravings do not exist anymore. Because of the Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy, their relationship with food has changed completely.

Nicole used to love sweets at night before bed. She frequently ordered dessert after dinner. Now, Nicole eats to sustain her health, not to satisfy cravings. Rather than eating until she feels overly full and sluggish, Nicole fills her life with things that make her feel more confident and happier.

Jason used to crave pizza and fried food. He loved those famous New Orleans fried shrimp po’boys. Rather than indulge in an entire pizza or two po’boys for lunch, Jason will eat a small, but satisfying portion. Like Nicole, Jason eats to sustain his health, not to over-indulge.
