As Victoria Cohen first started exploring weight loss surgery, she took her time—attending several informational sessions over the course of two years. Her journey wasn’t easy. A family illness and the pandemic caused delays, but her determination never wavered.

“I’ve never regretted my decision for even a second,” Victoria says. “The COMP team—especially Dr. Costinett and Jana Wolff—made all the difference. They supported me through every step.”

Victoria joined GBMC’s Comprehensive Obesity Management Program (COMP) in November 2021. Since then, her life has transformed in more ways than she imagined.

“My health and multiple problems… all dramatically improved,” she shares. “I’m no longer taking medications for diabetes and cholesterol, and I’m able to exercise. I feel great—and not to mention, I’m looking better too.”

For Victoria, the impact of COMP goes far beyond numbers on a scale. It’s about reclaiming her health and confidence—and gaining the tools to live life fully. Her message for others thinking about taking the next step?

“If you’re considering it, go to an info session. Learn. Ask questions. You won’t be alone. And when you’re ready, the COMP team will be there for you—just like they were for me.”
