Wow, how times have changed. On August 2, 2017 I had my very first appointment with Kaiser to discuss VSG. At the time, I was somewhere around 320 lbs, down 27 lbs from my highest weight of 347. I was a 44/46 waist, 3XL shirt, and moving around was a struggle after a while. Fast forward 12 months later and I am now 180 lbs, wearing a 32 waist, L shirt, and have more energy than I have had in years! I put on shorts that I used to wear and was able to fit my new body into one leg! If I can do it, anyone can. Much of the struggle is mental and requires a lifestyle change. I still enjoy myself, cheat on occassion, have a beer, etc. but I am much more mindful and aware of what goes into my body.

@MG1776 Congrats man! Epic transition!

Congrats, you look fantastic! Thanks for sharing your inspiring success story!

Wow! Amazing change! Look at that smile!

WOW!! Dude, you look great...congratulations on your transformation and keep it up. Pictures like yours really motivate me. YESSS!!

You know, in general calling someone a "gutless wonder" is an insult, but in your case . . .
