Carli lost 160 pounds in 18 months!

As a heavy person, I was absolutely miserable. I let my weight affect me emotionally. I was a person that wanted to fade into the background because I knew my size stood out. I had laparoscopic Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass surgery and lost 160 pounds. I am now proud to say that my biggest surgery goal has come true. I have enjoyed all of the benefits of increased health, quality of life, and a smaller size, but now I have the family that I have always dreamed of. In 2007 I gave birth to healthy twins; a boy and a girl!

Kacey lost 150 pounds and it changed her life!

Although I never acknowledged my weight to be a hindrance in my life, there were things that I had to admit that I wouldn�t try because I was 330 pounds. I did not have the courage to reach out for the things life had to offer me. After losing 150 pounds, I have made it a point to try and conquer all those little things I wouldn�t try because of my weight. I have more energy to do the things that I love the most.

Debra lost 149 pounds and is no longer diabetic!

All of my life I have been the biggest of 10 children and I have never really had a problem with it until I reached 300 pounds. In 2004 I began to have different medical problems and had to go on medical leave in June. I weighed 400 pounds. It wasn't until I saw an ad for BSS that I found Dr. Marvin and was able to have gastric bypass surgery in April 2005. So far I have lost a total of 145 pounds and am no longer a diabetic!

Jodi lost 64 pounds in 4 months - and still losing!

I have always been overweight. I tried every diet and weight loss trends, but they never worked. If I did end up losing any weight, I only seemed to gain it back plus a few pounds more. I started looking into weight loss surgery in March 2006. I was borderline morbidly obese. I contacted Bariatric Surgical Specialist in April 06. After the first seminar I was sold on the procedure. In only 4 1/2 months I've lost 64 lbs!

I have been an overweight person as long as I can remember. I never ate more than other kids but I gained more and more weight. By 21 I weighed 395 lbs. A month after my surgery I lost 45 pounds. After three months I lost 95 pounds and had never felt better. I learned more about eating foods in small portions, maintained a healthy diet and exercised. So far I have lost 150 lbs and gone down 3 shirt sizes!
