- Patient Stories, Weight LossGeneral Page Tier 3BlogWhile growing up in Washington, DC, Alexis Mallory was teased about her weight. Over the years, she tried diets and exercise programs, but despite her efforts, she was unable to achieve lasting results. In January 2024, she began experiencing back pain related to her weight, making even daily tasks difficult. One day, as she struggled to wash dishes, she realized something had to change. She shared her concerns with her primary care physician, who referred her to bariatric surgeon Jilian Nicholas, DO. “Dr. Nicholas made me feel comfortable. I could laugh with her,” Mallory says. Together, Mallory and Dr. Nicholas developed a personalized plan for weight loss surgery. At first, Mallory wasn’t sure if surgery was the right choice and took time to consider her options. When she felt ready to commit, Dr. Nicholas scheduled her procedure for May 2025. More than six months later, Mallory is confident she made the right decision. “It has been life-changing—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. I never thought I would be this size.” Today, Mallory is a busy wife and mother of three. She works for the housing authority while also offering therapy services and running a jewelry business. Although the journey hasn’t been easy, she says it has been one of the best decisions she’s made. If you’re considering weight loss surgery, visit Luminis.Health/WeightLossSurgery to learn whether you may be a candidate.0
