Kudos to you for losing the weight, and taking back your health. I'm sure it wasn't easy!
Actually...the Beachbody Grand Prize Official rules DO prohibit surgery as a method of weight loss for contestants:
"
Contestants whose appearance or fitness transformation before (even if not previously discovered), during, or after winning a Monthly Contest Prize has been in any way altered by, or is due to, in whole or in part, the use of body enhancing, non-medically necessary plastic/cosmetic surgery (for example, implants), liposuction, steroids, human growth hormone, or any unnatural method of body enhancement or weight reduction of any kind are not eligible to enter and will be disqualified.
"
The company is helping thousands; if not millions; of people to reduce their weight; and has a mission to end the trend of obesity. I'm sure your tranformation took a lot of work; and wasn't easy...however, it was aided by an "unnatural method" of "weight reduction".
Once again; your health is worth WAY more than $25,000...Congratulations!
