From this months news letter....

Member Spotlight: fyre_storm!

We’re pleased to have the honor of featuring a man in this month’s spotlight - if you haven’t already met him, now’s your chance to meet fyre_storm! He’s a 27-year-old FedEx worker from Fullerton, California. At a height of 5 feet 6 inches and a weight of 388 pounds, fyre_storm didn’t have any health problems – yet! But he knew they were coming because he saw his aunt suffer from obesity-related health conditions before passing away. So, even though he didn’t have “high anything,” as he puts it, fyre_storm decided to get the sleeve, and his surgery was in September of last year. He lost 72 pounds in three months, and so far has lost a total of 93 pounds! It hasn’t been easy for him – fyre_storm describes his journey as a roller coaster! The VerticalSleeveTalk.com community has helped him through many panicked occasions! Members have told him that whatever he’s going through will pass. Each time, they’ve been right – his VSG trouble has gone away. Fyre_storm wants everyone who gets picked on for obesity or is horrified at themselves to know that the sleeve was worth it to him. Each pound he lost has been painful, but he wouldn’t go back to his former self. Thanks, fyre_storm, for being in our Member Spotlight and for being a great community member!
