So for everyone that remembers my weight loss journey, this is what I looked like before my first surgery at 360lbs! Gastric bypass got me down ultimately to 240, and new losses make this long journey so worth it. Even compare my Facebook profile banner to my profile picture! This was at the fireworks in Wyandotte in 2004. RIP Ron Stach in the lower right.
