Shellee's Story: 'A Whole New Life Has Opened Up'

Four years after successful bariatric surgery at ChristianaCare, Shellee Chew is living the active lifestyle that she always wanted. Whether she’s hiking, walking along the coast or participating in a 5K walk, Chew is amazed at the things she can now. She and a group of peers who had bariatric surgery at ChristianaCare rely on each other for positive encouragement. The emotional support has helped Chew see herself in a new light: Previously, she lived life cautiously because of her weight, with self-imposed restrictions. Now, nothing is off limits. “I can travel anywhere I want and do anything I want for as long as I want,” Chew said. “I’m 52 years old, and I’m doing things that I didn’t do when I was 20 … It’s like a whole new life has opened up.” ChristianaCare’s Bariatric Surgery program has been designated as a Blue Distinction Center+ for its exceptional, affordable care, low complication rates and better overall patient results.

Dr. Lisa Breslow of ChristianaCare in West Grove, Pennsylvania notes obesity is a chronic, relapsing medical condition.

“Patients with obesity shouldn’t feel ashamed or like it’s their fault,” she says, adding the condition requires a multifaceted treatment plan that takes time, and when weight loss is achieved, other related conditions tend to improve.

Breslow, who previously worked as a family physician, is board certified in obesity medicine and now focuses specifically on the condition. She says obesity medicine is a growing and needed field.

“It is so, so very important to patients because a lot of patients struggle with being overweight and obese.”
