Pictures don't lie but, video is even better.

When I first started this journey I had already made many efforts to lose weight. I had gotten up to 360lbs and lost a lot of weight doing Optifast 800. I believe I made it down to 292lbs only to gain it all back and add even more weight. At the height of my despair I was 404lbs or at least that is the highest I ever saw on the scale. The Journey from that to what you see today (I am still losing at a steady 1-2lbs per week) has been very interesting. I would attribute all of it to Weight Loss Surgery that I had in Mexico. I can honestly say that I have never lost weight like this before. I know that if you limit yourself to around 1200 calories per day that you will lose weight but not like this! Not only do I not feel the intense hunger pangs of the past, I actually has lost the desire to over eat! It is very hard to put into words what is like to go from a person that could eat 3 or 4 plates of food to one that cannot finish one half of a plate of food. People who have seen my struggle with weight know that I am finally in a stable phase of health and have seen all of the changes in me. I still battle with not being that guy that will barely fit in the airplane seat. I know that I am smaller and that all of my old clothes are far too big but each time I grab a size 38 pants (I used to wear size 56) I say to myself “these aren’t going to fit!” But they do, in fact I have on a pair at this very moment. No one can tell you when you are ready for Weight Loss surgery but I think I have a pretty good idea when it should really be considered. When you have done everything that you can to lose the weight and you are successful, then fail, have success, then fail again maybe you should consider it. There are some decisions that I have made in my life that are the most important ones possible. My decision the accept Jesus as my Savior, marrying my awesome wife Yannie, and getting weight loss surgery in Mexico are the top three. I say that so you can understand, this is big for me and it can be the same for you as well!

Dr. Garcia is awesome, I used him! The results speak for themselves.
