Hey guys decided I would post some pics and my story. I’m Mike and I’m 37 from Montreal. Waited a full 5 years to get this surgery. Best decision I ever made.

Surgery was Nov. 22, 2018 and I’ve since lost over 180 lbs! I work out 6 times a week; cardio, swimming and various exercises.

let me know what you think!

WOWIE! WOW! WOW!!!!

You look AWESOME!!

Congratulations & continued success!

Congratulations, Mike! You look wonderful, happy, and on your way to better and better health. That's great that you are able to work out 6 days a week. How soon did you notice your energy increasing as well as your stamina? How soon were you able to work up to exercising 6 days a week? Again, congratulations , and I wish you continued success!

Hi Amy!

Honestly took me a month post op. But now I just want to work on myself. And you have to learn to be selfish for sure

but now I found the right portions and I push myself more and more

Aaaaamazing results. Congratulations! You look terrific. Great success.

I'm so happy for you Mike! Keep moving forward--you're an inspiration to all!

Thank you so much!

been working hard. Training is a mental game more than physical. And. Arguing exercises. Went for a 16km hike recently. It’s all about pacing and objectives.

Now that I can fit in airplane seats I’ll be able to take long flights to other countries of the bloody commonwealth lol

That is awesome! And trust me it’s doable. They told me I wouldn’t lose more than 150lbs and I’m at 185. So keep working at it.
