Best Decision Next to Accepting Jesus I have Ever Made!

Hi my name is Danny Coleman and I am 33 years old. I have been obese my entire life for as long as I can remember. I began my weight loss journey at the weight of 527 lbs. I still do not understand how I was able to carry that much weight around everyday. I had the Rny Surgery done on July 3, 2012. I spent one night in the hospital and got to come home on July 4, 2012. What a holiday I declared my independence from this life of obesity. I am almost one year post op and I am now weighing in at 279.8 lbs and feeling so much better and healthier. I have recently rejoined the gym and working out 7 days a week and loving it. I am so happy I made the decision to have Rny and would recommend it in a minute because this has been the greatest decision next to accepting Jesus as my personal Saviour I have ever made in my entire life.. God bless you all I look forward to getting to know you all.

Wow what an incredible testimonial! I am so happy for you. This is my first week out and I list 2.5 lbs the first week. It is in the right direction so I refuse to get crazy right out of the gate. I have to have faith, follow the plan and stay positive. You are an inspiration - thank you!
