I was tired of not being able to go out and do the things that I did in the past. I could no longer play basketball or football, go out to public places w/o people just looking at me and poking fun of me. I knew that @ 507lbs. I would not be around long. So after trying numerous diets, all kinds of weight loss drugs I set my mind that gastric bypass was going to be the tool and I would change my mindset that I was going to lose weight. So after about a year and a half of trying and getting denied on insurance I was approved and had gastric bypass surgery on December 6th. 2006. I now have started lifting weights again and now I have tons of energy! I hope to be able to help those people who are unsure about surgery and hope to be able to change someones life like mine has been changed.
