She Lost 135 Pounds with Weight-Loss Surgery

“My eating was out of control,” says Cheryl Jordan of Zionsville, and I was huge.”


Lookin' good - After losing 135 pounds, Cheryl Jordan doesn't have to avoid mirrors anymore.

At age 45, Cheryl weighed 260 pounds. She had been yo-yo dieting since her teen years. “I’d lose 20 pounds, then gain 30, binging on ice cream and other sweets.”

She was so ashamed of her size that she avoided mirrors. Cheryl finally realized that dieting alone wasn’t the answer. In 2003, she had laparoscopic weight-loss surgery performed by Richard Boorse, M.D., at Lehigh Valley Hospital. Losing 135 pounds and making healthy choices have changed her life.

“I eat better and exercise every day,” Cheryl says. “I feel younger and people tell me I look great! I want to stay this way.”
