“About six years ago I was 350 pounds and did lose 150 pounds naturally but over six years I’ve gained back about a hundred pounds and that’s when I decided that I wanted something more permanent. After the surgery, I have lost 60 pounds keeping it off and doing a lot more things that I haven’t done in a while: exercising, hanging out with my kids, a lot more… doing the activities that they wanted to do. Overall feeling very great loving that I could fit into any clothing that I want at a department store. Overall it’s a great experience. And to anyone who is overweight, I definitely recommend doing it.”
