I was 330 pounds for almost 11 years. I have two kids, 8 and 4, and like most kids that age, they need their father's attention all the time, to play with them or event just to help them with their homework. Because of my fatigue during the day, I was unable to do all the things that they needed me to do. Sleeping was challenge. I almost needed oxygen to sleep at night, or I had to sleep straight up but snore like a lion (which caused me problems with my wife).

I was tired of the way I was living my life and had tried almost every diet imaginable, but the results were worse every time I finished one. I failed every time because I didn't feel satisfied after eating, and when I finally quit the diet, all I wanted to do was eat more, so I kept gaining weight. Finally, I decided to put an end to this cycle and change my life forever. An aunt recommended me to Dr. Collier, and in our first visit, he explained what the procedure was all about. I knew it would help me achieve all I wanted for my family and myself. Since the first time you meet Dr. Collier and the rest of his team, they give you the support you need to help you decide to change your life forever. Of course it has been hard, everything in life is hard, but with their support, anything is possible.

So I decided to go ahead with the procedure, and I don't regret it at all. Believe me, I know it is hard for men to keep out of the fast food, beer, wine, even sodas, but you won't regret it. The results in the first two weeks were very noticeable for me. I was like a different person-my self-esteem was through the roof, which gives me the strength to keep going. After 1 year, I have lost 120 pounds. My goal is to weigh 190 pounds, so I am almost there.

I am a completely new man. Now I can play with my kids and help them with their homework. I do sports like skiing and running, and I hope one day that I can see my children getting married.

Thanks Dr. Collier and the rest of your team for giving me my life back!
