Barta: 110 lbs. Weight Loss
This journey not only changed how I look but how I feel. After my surgery, I graduated from College and moved on in my career to a job that I am on my feet moving constantly. Without the surgery I would not be able to do my job or participate in my life as I know it today. I lost a total of 110 pounds and have kept it off for 5.5 years. Every day is a new beginning as I did not lose the ticks or triggers that led me to the place I was before my surgery.
Heidi: 143 lbs. Weight Loss
My name is Heidi and I had Laparoscopic Banding Surgery April 30th 2009. I have lost 143 lbs. I am very happy I had this surgery. I can do things I was unable to do before, such as the ability to cross my legs, I can bend over and put my shoes on by myself, I can do physical activity that I could not do before. I love it that I can buy smaller, more stylish clothing without needing to buy from the plus size section. However, the most amazing change is doing things with my son that I was unable to do before. I went to Boondocks with my son and was able to race him in the go carts. I would not have been able to do this had I not have had the surgery.
Brett: 140 lbs. Weight Loss
I was never really heavy until I was in my mid-twenties; I have EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) which has caused my knee caps and other joints to dislocate ever since my early teens. I had surgery at age 23 to tighten the ligaments in my knees to keep them from dislocating. After years of recovery my weight started to move upward. With the wear and tear of the weight and years of dislocating joints, my knees were shot.
Lee Anne: 190 lbs. Weight Loss
In the third grade I started in a new school. I can still remember how cruel the other children were. I was called names like “Fatso, Slim, Hippo”. In the eighth grade I wore a size 20. High School was very miserable. I was the outcast. I was never chosen to be on any teams. I was never invited to parties or asked to a dance or even asked out for a coke after school. Besides the way I was treated by people, my health was very poor. I was on oxygen several times; I had asthma, and quite often ended up with pneumonia. I had problems with depression, back, leg and ankle pain. I could hardly move.
Sandy: 100 lbs. Weight Loss
My name is Sandy. I am 46 years old. I am 5’8″ tall. My weight at its highest was 277 lbs. I have had medical issues for about 10 years now. I have had disc degeneration in my spine and have had neck surgery and lower back surgery to remove discs and the stenosis so it would relieve the pressure, so I could do daily tasks. After seeing a variety of doctors, I was finally diagnosed with Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS) around Christmas of 2008. I know there is no cure for it but I take life one day at a time with a smile on my face.
