Wow that reminded me of my situation. I’m trying to lose weight since I am obese. I was told to lose 75 pounds so they can perform the surgery. I told my doctor “If I lose the 75 why even bother to go thru the surgery. I’ll just keep trying to lose the weight after 75”.
I know people who had the surgery but they have some weird side effect.
Malnutrition after surgery can occur if you don’t take all of the vitamins and supplements they say to take. If the new stomach doesn’t absorb them you get them through an IV.
And you’re absolutely right. Once I lost the 20, I said screw it. :)
The doctor told me a percentage of a percent of those who are above 400 ever see 200 again.
We two can be that percentage of a percent!!!!

Here is a 9 min video, Arthur’s Transformation (Extended Cut) Never, Ever Give Up!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIXOo8D9Qsc
Arthur Boorman was a disabled vet who gained so much weight that the doctors had given up hope. He found Diamond Dallas Page’s YRG i.e. Yoga for Regular Guys and sent for the video. He started at 297lb with leg braces and crutches and got down to 167 and was able to run, etc. Diamond Dallas Page even cries as he describes Arthur’s progress! Arthur did all this in his own living room!
The videos are so inspiring but the coolest part is how young Arthur looks now compared to how old he looked at the start - absolutely amazing!
He lives in MD and was written up in the Capital paper, Annapolis, about ten years ago.
Diamond Dallas Page is a wrestler who got into yoga when he was hurt. He never realized how his program would touch peoples’ lives!
I wish you success!
