The start of a new year brought more than resolutions for Nicole Tyler—it sparked a complete transformation. “I started my journey [with GBMC’s Comprehensive Obesity Management Program (COMP)] after New Year’s 2024,” she says. “I went through the full approval process for surgery and really enjoyed the COMP STOMP (monthly walking group with the COMP team) and support groups along the way.”

On September 10, 2024, Nicole underwent surgery with GBMC COMP. Since then, she’s embraced a new lifestyle—and hasn’t looked back.

“I’m very, very happy with how things are progressing,” she says. “I’ve developed a healthy lifestyle, and my confidence has grown. I’m happier than ever.”

For Nicole, it’s not just about the number on the scale—it’s about how she feels from the inside out.  

You deserve to feel this good. Take the first step. Schedule your GBMC COMP consultation today!
