“I was 495 pounds when I had a massive heart attack and I realized things were out of control. I have two beautiful kids and a wife, and I needed to be there for them. Today, one year after surgery, my journey is steady and on track. One of my goals was to travel, and this year we went to Australia. As a family we now cycle and walk, and I don’t have sleep apnea anymore. Words cannot express my gratitude to the clinic for helping me to get a second chance at life.”
