Before:

“Prior to having bariatric surgery, I had reached my highest weight of 440 lbs. Simply walking from the parking lot into work was a chore that had me tired and trying to catch my breath when I got into the building.”

After:

* RNY – June 2006
* Weight Loss: 200 lbs

“It’s amazing to me how much having bariatric surgery has changed the way I feel about myself. I feel I am treated with much more respect. I have the confidence to do so many things I never thought possible. I will be participating in the Myrtle Beach Marathon in February 2009!”
