I'm down 150lbs with VSG. I talk to men about it and encourage them to explore it. Many men think hitting the gym will work but this doesnt help those of us who are already obese. My respect goes out to this guy and his team. Awesome!

Happy 1 year anniversary on your rock wall climb Shawn. 🙂 And happy 2 year anniversary on your surgery. Keep on winning, smiling, and grabbing life by the horns. You got this. I believe in you... always.

Of all the bariatric surgery videos I’ve seen..,this is my favorite one. Go Penn!!

I’m exactly that weight now and really need to change. I’m 42 years old. Diets only worked for a while and working out is hard on my knees and back. I was on keto and lost 72lbs but could not maintain that lifestyle. I started feeling sick. Intermittent fasting was working until I started becoming hypoglycemic. I have no clue what to do. Surgery is an option but I’m worried/scared and really need to know what goes into it. I wanna live another 45 years. Don’t care for looks, care more about not feeling pain, anxiety, sluggish and sick.

I am currently 420lbs and ive been down to 350 with diet and keto. But it always came back. I am now going down the road of bariatric surgery. I hope my story is like this.

Good video! I’m set to get my surgery this fall. I’m 6 foot 8 and about 420 pounds. It’s been hard to lose weight while having sleep apnea and also not being very motivated. I’m hoping this surgery can change my life. It will be hard to make the lifestyle change but I’m very hopeful

I’m getting the survey this October! Wish me luck!!!! With all prayers ❤️❤️

If you have protein s deficiency can you get bariatric surgery

@jesuis1443

No, it's EXTREMELY important that your body has enough protein to compensate for the lack of food intake youll have after gastric bypass. You may be eligible for the lap band though, since its adjustable. Hope all goes well on your journey! ☺

Married the dietian way to go to keep it off

What is the goal of this surgery? To eat less. Can you eat less even without surgery? Yes. There are several ways to trick your mind to eat less. Eating low GI food, high fibre and whole grain makes you feel full longer. Drinking plain water instead of sugary drinks avoids you from thirst. Eating less spicy food avoids you from craving for sweets. So folks, think hard before doing this surgery. It involves making *permanent* changes to your body. You'll run the risk of being malnutrition. I'd rather have a mental surgery instead of a physical one.

Not meaning to disrespect the accomplishment of the Wright loss, but these people don't look "healthy". The looked nutrient deprived and older.

I used to be a balletdancer, living on one meal a day. After a few years I started eating normal and became, just like my family, morbidly obese. I teach 20 danceclasses a week and go to the gym. Trainers don’t know what to do with me. It’s not just about diet and working out.

If it were genes coming for you the surgery wouldn’t make a difference. Calories in calories out. I am happy you look great and feel well but it’s a dangerous ideology to promote that this is an option people always need instead of managing their eating. You’re a great guy but to say it’s genes is diminished responsibility for overeating
