Carli
lost
more than 72
kilos
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!
I had the surgery and the
weight truly just melted away
along with all my health
problems. I lost over 220
pounds in less than 2 years! I
dropped from a 56-inch waist
to a size 34. Life is great. I
am happy, healthy and starting
college in the fall without a
handicap parking space. I feel
so blessed to have gone
through this journey with the
love and support of my family
and the staff at Bariatric
Surgery Specialists.
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 lostover
67 kilos 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!
I am one of a growing number
who has taken their life back
from morbid obesity. I am a 38
year old Latina female who
began this journey on October
3, 2004. At the time I weighed
in at 289 pounds. Two years
later I am a much healthier
161 pounds! Thank you to Dr.
Marvin and his staff for their
incredible care and guidance.
I have been given my life back
and I know now there is
nothing I can't do!
Jodi lost
30 kilos 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!
