Hey Guys,

Here are my stats:

Age: 22

Pre-op weight- 383lbs ( highest weight ever recorded)

Day of surgery (May 3rd 2013) after 1 week liquid diet- 373lbs.

July 25th 2013- 320lbs.

i can truthfully and honestly say that this surgery saved my life. Not to say that i couldn't have lost the weight alone, i just wouldn't have done as well. The journey hasn't been easy AT ALL however, it's been a learning process and its getting better and easier each and everyday. I am so happy that i had this surgery and forever grateful to my mom for believing in this and paying for surgery for me.

The pic i attached below is a side by side picture of me last November and of me today. I can't begin to tell you how embarrassed and ashamed i am for letting myself go so much that i didn't even notice how big i was and how horrendous i looked in that outfit. It's really hard to see and even harder to digest. All i can say is that i am NEVER going back there and it can only get better from here.

I feel like i'm already a VSG success story and i'm not even halfway there yet.

To those who watch youtube VSG videos, i've been recording my progress so if you're interested, you can watch my latest video:

What a difference! You look fabulous. You must be pretty tall?

Tes, i am very tall lol. I'm 6'1 so my weight distributed evenly.. I know that as i slim down, i'll look even better.

Congratulations!!! Glad to see your success...it's just more inspiration! Today is my last day of the pre-op liquid diet, surgery is in the morning. I've lost 10 lbs in the past month!

Congrats to you as well! you are almost there! you are going to be just fine and surgery will be a breeze. You are off to a great start and it will only get better from here. I wish you luck tomorrow and if you need tips or anything, let me know. I'll be more than glad to help.

Congratulations! Your hard work is paying off. Keep it up!

Thank you! i read your bio on your profile and i wish you the best of luck with everything. I know the past few months have been everything but easy however, i'm positive that better days will come. I will think of you and send positive vibes and prayers your way when you have surgery next week. Wishing you all the best.
