I have struggled with my weight for a long time, I have a back injury that requires surgery but couldn't have it due to my weight. I started looking into my opinions for bariatric surgery back in 2008 but at the time my insurance wouldn't cover it, I found out in June 2012 that my new insurance would cover the surgery. I decided then that bariatric surgery was something I had to do. I went to my seminar in June 2012 and had my first appt with Dr Mobley in September 2012, I completed everything required but march 2013 but Dr Mobley's office wasn't a center of excellents yet so I had to wait; meanwhile I decided that I couldn't wait for the surgery to get the weight off I had to do it myself. I started a high protein diet and was having whey protein shakes every morning. I lost 32 lbs on my own before even going to my last appt before surgery. I started my 4 week pre op diet October 25th lost 18 more pounds for a total of 50 pounds before surgery. Since surgery I have had some good success, made it through all holidays and didnt gain a pound. I have lost 15.5 since surgery for a total of 65.5 pounds, I have lost 6 pant sizes and 2 shirt sizes.. im thrilled with my journey so far, I would recommend the lap band and john Mobley to each and every person that may be over weight, he is suchan amazing doctor I wouldn't ever want another.
