Autorentext
Daniella Rosa is a 48-year-old mother of three who knows firsthand the challenges of living with obesity ? and the courage it takes to choose bariatric surgery. Standing just five feet tall, she carried the weight of not only extra pounds but also the emotional and physical strain that came with them. At her highest, she faced serious health concerns including dangerously high blood pressure (even while taking three different medications), high cholesterol, along with the daily struggles that excess weight can place on both body and spirit.
Two years ago, Daniella made the life-changing decision to undergo RNY gastric bypass surgery. Since then, she has lost 87 pounds and gained a new sense of freedom, energy, and health. She understands what it feels like to juggle the demands of working full time and family life, with the urgent need to put her own health first.
Her mission now is to guide and encourage other women and men who are walking the same path. Through her writing, Daniella offers practical tools, emotional support, and real-life perspective to remind readers that they are not alone. Her books are designed to be more than just resources; they are companions for every step of the journey before, during, and after bariatric surgery.
