VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Life before bariatric surgery, it was hard. The weight was a big, major issue. I struggled with sleep apnea really bad. Blood pressure was so high. Borderline diabetes. I probably went through seven diets, but when the pounds came off, they came back really, really fast. I had to make a change.

By going to Temple, they helped me. They gave me all the information that I needed to succeed where I'm at today.

When I met my doctor, he told me that there was two different procedures for weight loss surgery. And I was a good candidate for gastric bypass. He pushed me because he knew I could do it. He knew I had it in me. You know? And he pretty much gave me the tools.

And his team, they all played a part in my success. My diet changed. I started incorporating healthy foods, so it was a great change for me. And once that change came, the weight started coming off.

I used to weigh 273 pounds. And today, I weigh 152 pounds. I do not have high blood pressure anymore. Borderline diabetes is gone. Sleep apnea, that was the first thing that went. I can breathe. I can run. I can live. I can chase after my grandkids, just a lot of energy. So much energy. This is all thanks to the Temple Bariatric Surgery Program.
