I knew everything I needed to know about this surgery, right? WRONG!!

Patricia Jarrell, Charleston, SC, USA
Clinical Manager
Francis Bariatric and Metabolic Services

At first, I was hesitant to attend Katie’s WLS Rock Star workshop, after all, what could she share with someone that had had WLS 8 years ago and is the coordinator for a bariatric surgery program? I knew everything I needed to know about this surgery, right? WRONG!!

I had WLS over 8 years ago and lost 220 pounds. After about 4 years, following an injury that prevented my usual exercising, I started regaining weight; I actually regained over 100 pounds! About a year before attending the workshop, I dedicated myself to losing my regained weight and have lost 70 of those dreaded pounds.

I learned from Katie that many of my techniques were right on the money, but I also learned several new ideas that are proving most beneficial. She gave practical, insightful advice in a humorous and enjoyable manner; I felt like I was spending time with a very wise friend, and indeed, I was! I left feeling recharged and renewed.

Thanks, Katie, for sharing your passion, special knowledge, and inspiration! Should you ever have the chance to hear Katie Jay speak, grab that opportunity with both hands and hang on, you’re going to learn a tremendous amount and have fun doing so!

Katie was hands down the best speaker we’ve ever had here

Monica Silver, OH, USA

Katie Jay was professional, poised, extremely knowledgeable, and very approachable. She spoke to us the way you would speak to a good friend—with candor, understanding, and humor.

I heard more than one person remark that Katie was hands down the best speaker we’ve ever had here. And I most wholeheartedly agree!
