650 lbs lost!!
I just wanted to share some pictures of my kids and I. I've been a member of OH for a long time now and had my surgery in March of 2009. I lost a total of 160 lbs. The following year, all three of my kids had RNY and collectively, we have lost over 650 lbs!!
To see my kids living life now and enjoying doing things they never did before just brings tears to my eyes. I see them participating in sports, hanging out with friends, doing things normal kids do, yet things they never did because of their weight. During their high school years I could see the pain in their eyes as they were teased and called names because of their weight. I am so grateful for what this surgery has done for my family.
Recently we did a commercial for Hurley Bariatric Center which is where we all had our surgery. I just uploaded a few pictures onto my profile from the day we shot the commercial so you can see the before and after of the kids.
My daughter had her surgery May 10th and has lost 130 lbs, my sons both had surgery on Dec 13th and are down 185 lbs and175 lbs.
I tried to paste a picture in this post, but not sure if it will work, if not, you can see them on my profile.
For all of those going through the approval process, or recovering from surgery and wondering 'will i ever make it to goal' just know that it can be done!! My kids and I will forever be grateful for the chance to live a healthy life.
