Bariatric Surgery Story to Motivate You

Bari Life has a lot of Bariatric Surgery stories to get you motivated.

In the 2 years since the surgery, Longcoy has shed over 100 pounds, but more importantly, has changed the way she eats and lives. “People who think weight loss surgery is an easy way out are wrong. It’s a tool to help you change your life, but you have to be committed to making better choices for your body,” states Longcoy.

For Gretchen Longcoy of Oak Ridge, life has begun anew at 50. Longcoy is embracing passing the half-century mark and enjoying a transformation in her body and health. The catalyst for her new vitality? Bariatric surgery. Since undergoing surgical weight loss surgery in 2012 with Dr. Stephen Boyce of New Life Center for Bariatric Surgery, Longcoy has shed more than 100 pounds and changed her life.

Longcoy says she has always been heavy, attending her first Weight Watchers meeting when she was in the fifth grade. But, she wasn’t obese until she got pregnant with her first child.

Why did Longcoy choose Boyce? Dr. Boyce is the most experienced weight loss surgeon in East Tennessee.  As a native Texan, there was a natural connection to Tennessee where Dr. Boyce has continued his interest and practice in weight loss surgery. With over 20 years experience in weight loss surgery Dr. Boyce’s formal education began at Texas A&M University. Dr. Boyce obtained his Bachelor of Science and Masters of Science from TAMU before beginning medical school in Dallas, Texas at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. Surgical Residency was performed at the Parkland Memorial Hospital where he was introduced to weight loss surgery under the tutelage of one of the pioneering fathers of weight loss surgery Dr. Otto Wilbanks.

“This was a life-saving procedure for me,” says Longcoy, a Realtor with Realty Executives. “After years and years of struggling with my weight and other health problems, I have a new lease on life, after 50.” Longcoy now bikes and swims, and is healthier than ever. “It’s a new beginning. It’s transformed my relationship with my husband and myself,” smiles Longcoy.  “I tell people ‘If you’re considering Bariatric Surgery, don’t let anything stop you. You deserve it; your life and health are worth it!’”

Bari Life Bariatric Vitamins and Supplement Founder Named a 2014 Top Doctor

Bari Life Bariatric Vitamins and Supplements is pleased to announce Dr. Stephen Boyce has been recognized as one of the Top Doctors of 2014 by the Knoxville Medical Community. Founder of the New Life Center or Bariatric Surgery and creator of Bari Life Bariatric Vitamins and Supplements, Dr. Boyce is featured as a Top Doctor in Cityview Magazine’s March/April Issue for his specialty work in the field of bariatric surgery. 

Every year, Cityview Magazine surveys the Knoxville area’s referring physicians to find out their choice for specialized care. The results provide evidence of who doctors would choose to be their doctors.

And, once again, Dr. Boyce has been chosen as the go-to choice for bariatric surgery in the Greater Knoxville area. "It is very encouraging to me that our primary care doctors are now thinking of bariatric surgery as an important and needed surgical specialty,” said Dr. Boyce. “It wasn't long ago that even physicians didn't understand the need for bariatric surgery.    The fact that bariatric surgery is being recognized as ‘specialized care’ is very encouraging for me and the bariatric patient community.”

Dr. Boyce has been performing bariatric surgery in the Knoxville area for more than 20 years. His skill and experience are unsurpassed in the community. And his commitment to providing the best quality care, both pre- and post-bariatric surgery, is second to none. Being chosen as one of the area’s 2014 Top Doctors exemplifies Dr. Boyce’s recognition as one of the best bariatric surgeons by those in the medical profession.
