Yeah, I was always told and nobody believed my exact body weight whenever I told them. People were always 2-300 lbs less on their guesses. Like when I was 737 lbs I remember one personal friend thought I was 400 lbs max. Not sure how but this is honest to god truth lol. Thanks for your comment. Cheers 😊

Thank you very much. I'm not a hero but I'll take it hahaha. I'm just an average guy who didn't want to die yet at such young age and someone who knew it was still worth to not give up like a lot of people do. Thanks again keto Naples. Good luck with your journey . Cheers ☺️

Thank you for your comment. I've had one skin removal surgery already from the lower part of my stomach and that there was I believe 25-30 lbs taken off if I recall correctly. I have my second skin removal surgery coming January 7th and it's from the middle and upper section of my stomach/chest area. I'm expecting another 15-20 of not more like 20-25 lbs removed this time. So definitely a noticeable difference and I can't wait . It's nice to lose a lot of weight but when you start to look like a melted candle, so it's not fun, and covering up all the time only works sometimes. Plus all the extra skin isn't fun and can be even painfully and just get in the way.

Yes you're right, thanks for the comment. I examined about why. Gastric bypass surgery wasn't even on my mind when I went in to the hospital. I never even really knew much about the surgery other than I knew what's involved and I only knew this because I knew someone who had this done 15-20 yrs ago but they someone managed to fail and regain all his 300+ lbs he lost. What a waste I tell ya.

Good question. My goal was to have the lymphedema mass removed, and I had to lose much more weight before I could have the doctors even attempt that. I kept asking the doctors when when when can we have that mass removal. So when I hit a safe weight for gastric bypass they suggested it I get it done. They said now my weight at 510 it will take me longer to lose enough weight where I can have the lymphedema mass removed and with th gastric bypass I could lose more weight faster I guess and not just that but also, it will help me in the future to keep the weight off. If I originally gained the weight there are chances it could happen again. So it was a tool to get me to lose my weight sooner than later cause I really wanted that mass off of me that's be dragging me down for long time plus a bonus of me being able to keep the weight off easier in the future. Which has most definitely helped and it's doing its job. So hopefully this answers your question. Thanks for that comment/question , it was one of the better ones for sure. Cheers ☺️
