At my heaviest I was 275-280. I looked at my son's graduation pics in 2011 and was horrified at what I saw. It wasn't just the size I looked unhealthy and not really happy. I had to think about things and put my life in prospective. I was on 4 bp meds and knees aching. I asked myself if I wanted to live to see future grandchildren and different accomplishments in both of my children lives and the answer way yes. I lost down to 247 on my own and knew I needed help and then I found Dr. David Steinburg and began my journey. I had my surgery 12/11/12 and as of today I am 195 lbs.

Wow.. Good job.. Congrats! My surgery was 12-14-12 and I'm an extremely slow loser at only 35ish lbs gone

I lost 15 my first we. Ny doc said I was ahead of schedule. I try to workout daily. Remember slow and steady wins the race.
