Prior to surgery, I weighed 330 lbs at 5'11" tall. I had gained 110lbs since my wife and I married in 2000.
About 50 lbs of that came after a fall accident which resulted in my breaking both feet and ended in a below-
the knee amputation (2013-2014). When i was trying to decide whether or not to have the surgery,
I knew it was about "quality of life". This was the same thought process I used in making the decision to
have my amputation. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. Its been 10 months and I've lost 135lbs.
I feel great and feel better about myself. I have more energy and less problems with my prosthetic. My recovery
Has been great with no complications. I'm excited about moving forward in life with a new me!
