Medical Weight Loss Success Stories
At 33, Shannon Reckler knew it was time for a lifestyle change after being diagnosed with a heart condition and pre-diabetes. She tried various diets without success and attended a bariatric surgery seminar but opted for non-surgical weight loss. In August 2022, she began seeing Dr. Alex Bonnecaze, a board-certified endocrinologist with Pinehurst Medical Clinic, specializing in treating metabolic disorders and providing medical management for patients with obesity at The Metabolic and Weight Management Center. Starting at over 360 pounds, Shannon learned to adjust her eating habits and mindset. Now, over a year later, she has lost 100 pounds and gained confidence. She completed her goal of hiking all 42 North Carolina State Parks and now aims to hike the Appalachian Trail and reach 200 pounds.
