My Weightloss Journey

"My Weightloss Journey"

About: Westview PCN / Obesity Program

(as a service user),

I was referred to the WPN Obesity clinic before my hip replacement as my weight had reached almost 300 lbs in 2022. 

Very limited mobility.
Had the hip surgery and started the clinic in March 2023.   The team helped me through 
A different look at my weight management, bi weekly meetings with  Clinic Nurse and a monthly psychologist that changed everything- learned my heaviest weight was trauma based from a child.   I finished the clinic March 2024.  My doctor was retiring so I asked for readmission. I, continue to take the virtual classes monthly and have dropped 40lbs this year so far.   I feel better than I have in the last 15 years.  Better health, more energy and sleep better.  
I would highly recommend this clinic as they are a great team in helping to get you to a healthy weight with accountability and experience. I feel alive and well.
