I want to start out by saying that this testimonial is real life. I remember my thoughts when I was going through the web site looking at these testimonials and saying to my self that these are probably not real people. Well let me tell you, this is as real as it gets. This surgery will change your life in so many ways.

When I started my journey I was 335 pounds my joints always hurt and I didn't want to even get out of bed in the morning. I had a baby on the way and I told my self that I didn't want to live life like this anymore that it was time for a change. I talked to the people at Jerusalem and got my journey started.

The first week of my journey I thought I was going to die, but I kept telling myself that this is for my baby girl. The second week of liquids only was so much easier that's when I realized that everything was going to work out great.

I am 6 months out now and I am down an awesome 118 pounds. I am in a size 34 jeans from a 44. I encourage anyone that has a problem with weight to get this surgery you will never regret it.
