Carli lost 160 pounds in 18 months!

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!

Kacey lost 150 pounds and it changed her life!

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.
