New Jersey woman gets a new lease on life

After weight-loss and hip replacement surgeries, Janet Scratchley's life had been transformed. When severe back pain caused by osteoarthritis in her hip led Janet to David Harwood, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, she discovered that she needed a hip replacement. However, to be considered eligible for the surgery, she would have to first undergo a sleeve gastrectomy, performed by Ragui Sadek, MD, Medical Director of Bariatric Surgery at RWJUH, to prevent complications due to her high BMI. With both surgeries complete, and having lost nearly 100 pounds, Janet has a new lease on life.
