Smiling All the Way to the Scale: How Gastric Bypass Surgery Saved My Life

When author Jason U. Terry works out at the gym, he feels like a rock star on tour, but that hasn't always been the case. In 2006, he weighed 416 pounds and felt like a prisoner trapped inside of a body he didn't recognize in the mirror. Because of his weight, Terry suffered from dire health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. His doctor wasn't confident he'd live to celebrate his fortieth birthday. Terry was obese, and it affected every aspect of his being.
