ICU nurse Elisa DuFour, 37, struggled with her weight since childhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d have short periods when I would maintain a healthier weight,\u201d she says. \u201cBut it wasn\u2019t for a meaningful amount of time. I would always put the weight back on.\u201d<\/p>\n

During new employee orientation at MultiCare Capital Medical Center, DuFour remembers hearing about the hospital’s bariatric surgery program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI technically qualified for surgery, but I wasn\u2019t sure about the financial aspect,\u201d she recalls. \u201cSurgery sat in the back of my mind for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then she started working on the unit where patients recover from bariatric surgery.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was caring for these patients after surgery and would talk to them about it,\u201d DuFour explains. \u201cI noticed they were typically my size or smaller, so it made me think about it more.\u201d<\/p>\n

She decided to attend an informational seminar to learn about the program.<\/p>\n

\u201cI realized surgery was a tool I could use to better myself,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd I respected and trusted Dr. (Monica) Young<\/a> as a surgeon. After meeting her, I decided to move forward with surgery.\u201d<\/p>\n

A personalized approach to surgery and follow-up<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Side-by-side<\/p>\n

DuFour underwent a sleeve gastrectomy in September 2019. She says the surgery went well; she had a short recovery and no complications.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nurses there on that unit are really great,\u201d she adds. \u201cThe teamwork they have and the friendships they build is one of the things that make it a special place to work. I worked on that unit another year after surgery.\u201d<\/p>\n

And as a nurse with a busy job and schedule, DuFour says it was an adjustment to eat only small amounts at a time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember feeling frustrated,\u201d she says. \u201cBut I got the hang of it and figured out how to manage eating at more regular intervals.\u201d<\/p>\n

DuFour was grateful to have ongoing support from the clinic and consulted with Sandra Pearce, the clinic\u2019s dietitian, several times.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccess to a dietitian is one of the things I really liked about the program,\u201d says DuFour. \u201cI got to know Sandra well. She\u2019d assess what I was eating and would tell me I could benefit from more of this or less of that. It was really helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another aspect of MultiCare\u2019s weight loss surgery program she appreciates is the follow-up.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mom and sister had bariatric surgery elsewhere and didn\u2019t have as much follow-up,\u201d DuFour says. \u201cBecause of the frequency of the appointments, the MultiCare team really gets to know you and tracks you to see how you\u2019re doing. That makes the program feel very personal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finding a passion for hiking<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wanting to increase her physical activity level following surgery, DuFour started walking every day. She admits, however, it was difficult to walk even a mile or two.<\/p>\n

Then, she met her now-husband Eric.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s an avid hiker and wanted to show me hiking,\u201d DuFour explains. \u201cThe first hike we did together was really challenging \u2014 about 3,500 feet of elevation gain over a short distance. I did it! And from then on, I loved hiking. I love the challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, she and Eric will do 20- to 30-mile hikes in a day, which is something she says she never could have done prior to surgery. \"Woman<\/p>\n

Their love of hiking is so immense, they eloped on a hike.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hiked in my wedding dress a few miles up in this beautiful area in the North Cascades, and my 16-year-old son married us,\u201d DuFour says.<\/p>\n

In addition to hiking, she started running and going to the gym.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I lost the weight, these activities became easier to do, and I found a love for doing them,\u201d says DuFour. \u201cI also started weight lifting \u2014 another thing I never thought I\u2019d do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the jump-start of weight loss from her surgery, Elisa literally took it and ran with it,\u201d adds Dr. Young. \u201cIt propelled her into a new lifestyle. It\u2019s been an amazing transformation to see.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSurgery allowed me regain control of my life, become strong and healthy, and live in a fulfilling way.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another big life change for DuFour is that she\u2019s pregnant.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t think I\u2019d ever have more kids,\u201d she admits. \u201cBut my husband and I talked for a long time and decided this was something we wanted to experience together.\u201d<\/p>\n

She says it\u2019s challenging being pregnant, due to the fact that it requires weight gain.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I\u2019m exercising and still eating healthy foods, which is more important than a number on the scale,\u201d DuFour says.<\/p>\n

She tapped into the resources at the weight-loss clinic and received nutritional support from Pearce to prepare for pregnancy.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe gave me some tips to make sure I was getting the right vitamins and nutrients before getting pregnant and throughout pregnancy,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

Dr. Young says that witnessing DuFour\u2019s success is meaningful for her as a doctor.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a joy to watch Elisa go through the whole process and see her in this next phase of her life starting a family,\u201d says Dr. Young. \u201cI\u2019m impressed by all of the changes she\u2019s made and how well it has paid off.\u201d<\/p>\n

DuFour didn\u2019t realize how much surgery would change her life.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt changed so many different aspects of my life,\u201d she says. \u201cSurgery allowed me regain control of my life, become strong and healthy, and live in a fulfilling way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
