Meet Edward Williams A few months ago, Edward embarked on his transformative journey with South Bend Clinic’s Surgical Weight Loss Program. Starting at 485 lbs, he initially lost 60 lbs with his family doctor. However, the demands of balancing two jobs made further progress difficult. After making a career change, Edward committed to his health goals with the support of our Medical & Surgical Weight Loss Center, beginning his program at 405 lbs. Edward says, “This journey has fundamentally changed my relationship with food. I now view food primarily as energy for my body rather than comfort. I am on the verge of transforming my life and overcoming significant health challenges.” We are inspired by Edward’s strength and determination to reach his ideal weight and enjoy new opportunities ahead! If you’re ready to start the conversation about your weight loss goals, our team offers both non-surgical and surgical options tailored to your needs.
