I got my surgery 9 month ago in Germany. Best decision of my life. I‘m really fine. Loosing my weight, playing golf is so much more fun now. I’m only 5 to 6 kilograms away from my target.

Kris , my brother, if you’re watching this im so proud of you ! I’ve started my process.

Way to go! I am so happy for you and I am 3 wks away from my bypass! You are brave to allow us to see and understand what you went through, thank you!

just got home from the hospital from having my bypass surgery. looking forward to the weightloss journey and proud of everyone that has gone through this as well ❤

Very encouraging. Saw a surgeon yesterday and will be having the procedure in a few months myself. Excited and nervous at the same time.

I don’t need this surgery & I don’t know why I’m even here.. but god bless everyone going through this, I pray you succeed & prosper!

Congrats bro ya a inspiration just what I need on my journey all the best chris

Well done mate. I’m 65 and have been overweight most of my life. I’m due to have the gastric sleeve early next year. I am currently 125kGs. I’ve just had my left ankle fused. My left knee last year was replaced. All this is to do with being overweight. Good luck on your journey. A well wisher from Western Australia.

Congratulations Chris! 🎉

So so so proud of you!

I almost died having my gastric bypass surgery. The surgeons damaged my liver whilst moving it up perform the surgery and they didn't notice so i went a whole week with internal bleeding until i collapsed and stopped breathing. Luckily my partner gave me chest compressions and called the ambulance, i had to have multiple blood transfusions and have further surgery to remove all the blood, and a drain to remove any further bleeding. I was on bed rest for 6 days in hospital, fingers crossed 🤞 hopefully i have no more complications.

I just spoke to my doctor about this and waiting to speak and proceed I'm so excited!

So happy to see this! I really hope and pray i can have it. Thanks for sharing 😊 u look awesome!

Watching for my son. I want him to be healthier and happier. God bless

Hello I have the gastric sleeve surgery back in January 27th of 2021 and I was 410 pounds and now I’m at 336 pounds and lost total of 74 pounds

Doing such a great job way to go ❤❤❤❤😊

I’m about to undergo gastric bypass surgery and I find this so encouraging! I’m so happy for Chris and I’m so excited to lose weight and get rid of my pain and the diabetes. I just want to be healthy again!

Starting the process today. ❤️

Cheers to Chris for taking charge of his life.

Way to go Chris

What a amazing story, great work Chris

I didn't get surgery, but I am glad it is working for people.

There are a couple of people on KZfaq who could use this inspiration. Well done, Chris.

This is something in considering. At the moment it's on the back burner but I've joined a weight loss group at my local hospital.

Wow!Incredible successful!❤

Congratulations 🎈🎊🎉 ❤ 😊 I am overweight 85 pounds so I have my appointment for my surgery this days,if he did it I can do it too

Pulling for you Chris!

Bless me am going for the surgery soon

Wow this is so motivating for me my surgery is in 3 weeks and I’m so excited

I’m on the waiting list for this surgery. I can’t wait! Update: I ended up getting a referral from my doctor to go private! I have my appointment in June, but can't get the surgery until September. If I remember to post further updates, it will be done! Update 2#: I forgot about my appointment in June, but luckily was able to get another one on the 19th of July. I'm booked in for surgery for the 28th of September! So excited! Update 3#: I am on a waiting list, as my insurance didn't cover the surgery. So more waiting, yay!

I'm scheduled for 8/9/21. I've done 6 + months of pre-op appointments and didn't think anything. Now I'm scared to death.

GOD BLESS BROTHER I AM DOING THIS TOO

Yes Chris

I get my surgery on March 28th 2022 and this is the best video and inspiring out of all of the ones I have seen so far

I hope your smiling

I’m having gastric bypass in 6 days. I cannot wait

Wonderful

I would like to see the follow-up after four years??

Congratulations

I'm doing open bypass sugery end of July or in the early of August I already done all my Apts and paperwork just waiting for my sugery day

I just had it I weight 253 hope I lose sum to thank God everything went well just sore if he can do I I can to 🙏 amen!

How much time off work did you need for recovery?

Thank you for sharing. I have been approved for surgery and I am scared

had the surgery done at tufts. If you are considering getting this surgery, get it done at a teaching hospital. They have the highest success ratings. If you are considering it, talk to you’re a doctor and those that have gone through it. Those that are heavy and have done nothing about it are not particularly a good source of objective advice. In fact they seem to be a good source of friends who have friends who have friends that have horror stories. The real horror story is That of Doing nothing.

I had the gastric bypass. I’m 8 months post op. I’ve lost 157lbs. I hate everything about it. I vomit daily. I have constant pain. I wish I never had it done.

I'm just starting my journey

The results are great only if they would last:( I lost 36 kilos in 2 years and gained 20 kilos after 3 years. Now after 10 years i got all my weight back altho i try to eat healthy food in general. I lost half of my hair i get vitamins etc all the time. They also told me i would never get diabetes but now i do . I wouldnt suggest this surgery only if it would be for emergency healthy reasons. Its not a surgery that you will do and get rid of your weight once for all. Its a surgery that will help you eat less and make you learn that you cant eat the amount of food you were eating before. If after a few years learn how to eat (as it happend to me) meaning more often but small portions you lost the game and you just get the weight back with all the problems of the surgery that occured.

That's great.

Is that op reversible?

so strange. I am that weight looking into surgery but I can walk miles aday and lift weights been doing that for almost a year but havent lost any weight lol. why I am looking into surgery.

Go chris

Where is he now

5 months more and I am there to

I want to get this surgery so bad 😩😩

I start my journey tomorrow

I’m having this procedure on 11/21/2023

Can this be cover under your insurance?

My surgery is in 3 days😊 Wish me luck🥹

Chris is pretty hot. I'm 2 weeks away from mine....

Hypnosis could have helped change his thinking in regards to eating massive abouts of junk food.

The surgery didn't work for me and I now have a lot of health issues.

My weight is killing my knees

Am losing with mine but am more sick than I have ever been. I would never do it again

"Imagine doing something today, that you couldnt?" Well I cant eat a slice of pizza today, or two, or go out for drinks ( alcohol), and I could before surgery :( . My last pleasures in life are gone. To... Golf? That is not even a sport. That is a rich people thing. Blargh. I am so out of myself, 6 day post op, dreaming of food while living in a room all day and night, alone, and it will be like this for MONTHS.

Scared to have bi pass

I just don’t like the part where you have to take vitamins all your life

My mom had gastric bypass in 2006 and basically ended up starving to death over the course of 15 years. She died this month. The last 3 years she could barely eat and lost half of her body weight after already being underweight. She was so weak and couldn't walk. The doctors just kept sending her home. Finally her blood pressure was so low she fell and broke her artificial shoulder. She died a week later from surgical complications. Bottom line, this is a nasty procedure and in my opinion should be banned. Yeah it feels good the first two years when weight comes off but beware, for the rest of your life you are slowly starving to death.

That’s great, but where is the reporting on VERTICAL SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY (“VSG”)?! VSG has long overtaken Gastric ByPass in popularity. It has been around 15 years now, and is performed more often than Gastric ByPass. Only patients with longterm Diabetes and a BMI over 50 are the usual candidates for ByPass. The Sleeve is MUCH LESS invasive, has fewer complications, has less recovery time and people can lose massive weight with it. I would understand not mentioning The Sleeve if it was 1998, but it’s 2019. Where have you BEEN?!

So why not do everything he’s doing to lose except the surgery ? That’s stupid to modify your internal organs

Just eat leed people!!

its amazing how people need to cut their stomach to stop shoving pizzas down their throat

You know. Working out. Going for a mile run a day. After a year you slim down so much. Don’t be lazy

i am fat and i can play golf who wants to lose weight to play golf lmao.

Its easier to just not overfill your stomach

What victory are you talking about, the excess skin .......

Just stop eating

Why no news on migrant invasion??
