OMG! I had to take a wide close look into my screen... You look so much like my husband... He and I both had surgery for weight loss in 2008... Mine was has gone well... Im half my size... Lost over 200 pounds but sadden to say my husband passed away a year later due to complications from it after losing 150 pounds.. He so wanted this new life and I was pleased we were both going to go through it together and love to live our new life. I look at the before and after pictures and see what he co
This video is what is motivating me do get surgery. I have always been big, but being young I could hold it at spots. Now I'm 25 and its getting harder and harder to not climb past 365 mark. People don't understand that its not always a food problem, its a metabolism problem. This video makes me very happy for you. You deserve all the happiness I see you have in the video.
chris i am in the process of having the surgery and this is my first time watching and i would just like to say i think you were a good looking guy before surgery but you are a much healthier good looking guy now
...so tell the truth!? What were your glitches ~ leakages, infection, adhesions, bowel movements, nausea, pain the list can & probably will be endless for the rest of your life. Grumpy nurse just tired from looking after people like you whilst being nice, always nice...! Are you on any antidepressants...??? Yeah, so, how's it really all going for you...???
i have easy to follow cards a balanced diet all the food groups please contact me its based on your weight i will help you and give you menu tips please email me mycrystalball@gmail.com
You remind me so much of me but I am at the begining of my journey and you are well on your way in yours. I see alot of ppl who are morbidly obese worried about extra skin that is the least of my concerns I wanna live and enjoy life. God will make a way to handle the skin or the problems associated with it when I get to that stage. Don't let extra skin stop you from surgery. cause right now it is not extra, It is filled with stuff that is killing you. Rock On Chris ;..;
Chris - you are gorgeous! You were handsome before but wow! You look so happy and I am happy for you. I am scheduled for the Open Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass on March 3, 2011. Just knowing the possibilites of whats to come for the rest of my life is wonderful. Now I can live a long life for my Son. Your video is an inspiration, thank you for posting it.
That was amazing, to watch the change. You are a very good looking man. I just got my referral today to see the surgeon and begin the process. If you and anyone else who has or are going thru the process to get the surgery could please contact me and tell me about it. Im at dmhemt@ gmail. Com or facebook under Donna Hayes- Wester. Thank you for sharing this.
Wow man, grats. I have been watching a lot of these "My journey begins" vids, and yours if by far the most inspirational to me. First, you were smiling when you were big, and your still smiling normal sized. 2ndly, with your shirt off (big), you look almost identical to me. I have the exact same body type. So, knowing that you turned the same body as mine, into looking amazing is great! I am 6'4" 425 lbs. Doing this surgery for my daughter, she is the world to me, and I want to be here for her.
excellent mate you have done well, and having the balls to have the surgery is a major step, you have the most amazing eyes and im a hetro. married with three kids i dont think im turning but thought id tell you those eyes are chick pulling magnets use em well.
Im just in the begging stages of finding out about this surgury. Gonna get it done. About 2 months out at this point. Blue Cross pays.Thanks so much for posting this. It was awesome and the perfect music. You help the rest of us...thanks again.
Thank you for posting your video brother. Its nice to see the male prespective for GBS surgery. (My surgery date is coming up. I use your video as inspiration when I get discouraged)
Im having it do on Sept 7th 2010 Im hoping it goes good and the healing fast Im 6'1 300 lbs and Im looking forward to getting rid of 100 of it I carry it well but I have it feel terrible and I know other health factors can come if I blimp out more,,,Im really looking forward to getting rid of the man boobs LOL
take care all thanks for all the information and inspiration too !
Hello I am wondering how you surgery goes, hope everything OK.
What make me interesting in your comment is that you and me are in the same weight and height, and I am getting prepare for my surgery by Sep 30th or the first week in Oct
I am getting some extra info and hopping to get some good results like Chris.
My surgery went too good LOL I have no bruising the holes for the Laposcope are nearly healed and I had my surgery Sept 7th......actually I felt crummy the day after which is when I came home and by sunday was doing great today I am at my shop doing Light work and when to my Primary Doctor this morning and he is very pleased with the outcome....
Great change buddy.. I get mine here in 2 weeks.... So far, my family is pretty upset about the whole things, but my friends have been there for me every step of the way... Hopefully my fanily will understand after some time, and I start changing like you... It's an awesome transformation bud!
@twolfb4u Yep you're right.. I suspect when they see the changes to my size and health, they will change their tune.. Im 5'9" and 325lbs.. I used to play for usc, have a good buld, but gained so much afterf a back injury, that i cant seem to come back from it.. this will be great for me!
Totally amazing! You are totally hot!! I could see the spirit from within come out in you. That is an inspiration! Thanks for sharing your journey! Oh, and LOVE the music you put with your video.
That is just awesome. You look amazing. Those blazing blue eyes shone through prior to the surgery, but now they are incredible.
I'm on my own journey, and the thing I love more than anything when I watch these videos is the changes that take place inside, along with the external ones. You can see that clearly in your vid.
I've been doing a lot of research into getting this surgery as its difficult to get funding under our National Health Service & there is no surgeon performing bariatrics in NI at the moment, so you have to travel to London. Your quality of life must be 1000% better now - I especially like the photo of you on your bike ;o) Thank you so much for sharing your transformation & keep on rockin'!
wow you lost loads, i've got my roux en y operation in 9 days, im 31stone (434lbs) and havin a bad day on my pre-op diet but i'm very motavated by your journey, thanks for sharing. hope your well, paul (England)
im considering this surgery myself........ im 19 years old, 305 lbs. was @ 330 then i started at the gym, was down to 290.....but i fell off and havent been able to get back in my routine at the gym. im at 305 lbs 6ft. tall now. anybody have recommendations? and krobar, do you have any really baggy skin left? around your stomach or anywhere?
This a really god transformation. I bet u are happy. I am just a little over 2 months total of 10 weeks out from surgery. I have already lost total of 58lbs and I feel great. I can't wait to be able to do more things. Well hope everything is great!
This is true inspiration! I myself am trying to begin the process to get the surgery, but everyone I have called, or emailed wont reply to me. I am in the Memphis,TN area. If anyone can help me find out what to do, or where I can find out any information that can be helpful, I would appreciate it. Feel free to comment on my page. The catch is, for the past few years ive been self employed and dont have insurance, and as of January, Ive been out of work. ( im in construction) Thanks in advance
Dude ... You are a rock star..I am about a month away from my surgery, It is a scary thing but I am so excited.I have broken my back twice in the past and have had 5 surgery's on it. I am 6 foot 5 inches and hit the scaled at 350.. i feel my body starting to break down at this point.(IT'S TIME) YOU ARE TRULY AN INSPIRATION. ROCK ON MY BROTHER!
Wow ....Might I say you were handsome before the surgery and you never lost that except the weight! Good for you. I give people like you a lot of credit. Good luck to you and your Harley's!
Congrats Krobar. As someone who has been on the same journey since 2002 I know how uneasy your journey may have been at times. Here's a tip: HOT fluids with every meal. Keep up the good work.
amazing... you dooo look like a rock star!! :) i know your whole life is different.. you look fabalous.. and healthy and happy... i am so happy for you, you have come a very long and i know the journey was very hard.. congrats
I have lost 110 since April. The RNY is a great tool. If you gain a little weight just cut back. so far I have has NO complication, My wife is having her RNY Oct 21 to cure her diebetes.
Thank you for sharing your video. Its nice to see the positive side of the surgery. Ive began my process and hope to be in surgery by December! Thank you again! You look great!
All I can say is WOW. I am so glad to see your pics cause I am going to have rny-just waiting on the insurance. Although it's nice to see the before and after pics of those weighting 240# at the start, I would love to weigh 240#. I weight 325# and love to see what a difference it makes on those of us who are bigger than 240# to start. It reinergizes me. Thanks
Hey sweetie, I was recently dx with multple sclerosis but I am going to get it strat AM i LOOKING INTO MIN GASTIC BYPASS. YOU INSPIRE SWEETIE TAKE CARE KEEP IT GOING
You were good looking when you were heavy but you are REALLY sexy now. But more than that.....YOur personality ROCKS. Congrats! I hope I am as successful as you are! My surger is hopefully June 16th..
and, I cant believe how good looking you are! but honestly you were a cutie even when you were heavy. I am 11 days post op myself. Im excited to see where it takes me :) It must make you feel so good to see the pictures of you now Verses then. Im proud of you.. and Im learning... how hard it is to achieve your goals. The WLS was a TOOL. Not a quick fix. Its been hard, but I know, it will be worth it. People like you prove that to me :).
Thanks for watching my video and the ego boost and for me it has been a decision I'm very glad I made. I wish you happiness and good health with your new lease on life......
WOW. Congratulations to you in your success. I am in the process of going through all thr hoops to have my surgery in late June or early July. I am eager but at the same time scared. I hope that people like you that had the surgery will continue to post videos.
Amazing! I have been thinking about going through with bypass surgery for the past year. My weight has gotten out of control and I need help. Your video is inspiring. People keep telling me "it's the easy way out" and crap like that. I think it takes a lot of strength to do something so monumental for yourself. Thanks for posting this vid. Krobar is a Rockstar!
Krobar, I have to tell ya MAN we are a like. see I ride a harley and guess what, I am having my roux en y at the end of May 2009. You have inspired me to make some videos of my own. I am excited for your new sucess. I can only hope to suceed like you have, I thank you for putting your self out there like this cause I will be joining you in doing the same!!!
Thanks for the comment. Its good to see bikers not afraid to go down this road and not think its the easy way out or the sissy thing to do. If anything this will be the hardest thing you will go through in your life but the healthy side is the best way to go so rock on brother
Wow it was really amazing to see your inner rock star emerge. I felt like a new person emerged from me too after my surgery in 2007. I wish you all the luck in the world as you continue on your journey to becoming who you want to be. And yes I have to agree with the other comments and tell you that you look very handsome now...but more importantly, you look SO much happier!
Thanks for the great comment and yes I'm much happier now and feel much healthier. And I also wish you health and happiness in the future.......BTW. Thanks for making my Monday.....
Hi there my name is Grace. You look great! Congratulations! I headed for a new begining too. Will be having my surgery in a couple of months. Hesitated for a long time to do it but people like yourself have inspired me. Again congrats & have a wonderful day handsome! :0)
Congratulations! You look fabulous! I'm sure you feel a lot better, too. I had my surgery in January 2008, and I've lost 110 lbs. I look and feel a lot better, too!
Sorry I have responded to your comment after your surgery date but good luck on your new lifestyle and a healthier you. If you have any Questions about anything feel free to ask
Thanks for the comment. I also agree that people are treated differently because of how they look and it is a rotten thing that society has to put people in categories like your in high school
hey dude congrats. firstly my wife fancies you, its ok she ugly. im having my op on the 26th feb cant wait, were you left with much excess skin sorry for askin cause you look cool in the pics.
Thanks for the congrats. As for your question about the excess skin, I was left with some around my lower abdomen and my chest. its ok though I might get the excess skin removed but my health was my first concern and then my next step is a body lift. This is something to consider after about a year and a half or two years so to allow your skin to shrink and catch up to the rapid weight loss if it is bothersome to you. I hope this helps you and good luck with the surgery.
OMG!!! This is the best video I have seen on here so far.You look amazing, I am having my surgery on Jan 21st and hope to do as well as u. U Rock!!! :)
Mike you are my hero too. I wish I posted videos on youtube to show my progress like you are doing now. my video is great at showing the before and after pic's but it isn't as informational like what you are doing for the new WLS community out there. keep up the great v-logs and I welcome you to the losers bench........
Just trying to do my part to alliviate the fears some folks have about this surgical procedure and broaden my horizons as I embark on my new life. I am glad you are a part of it all!! Keep it real!! - Mike
Wow..you look fantastic! What a transformation! Not that you weren't handsome before, cause you were, but now...whew...sizzle! I hope I look that good after my surgery!
You can but I would recommend you don't. The problem you run into is beer has carbonation and will stretch your newly sized stomach and any alcohol will hit you like a junuor high school girl.......
OMG! I had to take a wide close look into my screen... You look so much like my husband... He and I both had surgery for weight loss in 2008... Mine was has gone well... Im half my size...

All I can say is WOW. I am so glad to see your pics cause I am going to have rny-just waiting on the insurance. Although it's nice to see the before and after pics of those weighting 240# at the start, I would love to weigh 240#. I weight 325# and love to see what a difference it makes on those of us who are bigger than 240# to start. It reinergizes me. Thanks

I got so excited watching your video!
and, I cant believe how good looking you are! but honestly you were a cutie even when you were heavy. I am 11 days post op myself. Im excited to see where it takes me :) It must make you feel so good to see the pictures of you now Verses then. Im proud of you.. and Im learning... how hard it is to achieve your goals. The WLS was a TOOL. Not a quick fix. Its been hard, but I know, it will be worth it. People like you prove that to me :).

Amazing! I have been thinking about going through with bypass surgery for the past year. My weight has gotten out of control and I need help. Your video is inspiring. People keep telling me "it's the easy way out" and crap like that. I think it takes a lot of strength to do something so monumental for yourself. Thanks for posting this vid. Krobar is a Rockstar!

But more importantly.....i feel we all are hot people...in our own way.
Just that society puts in a different category, which thay shouldn't.
You rock and I am 1 week post op
and glad to be part of a growing community...
people looking at our health and the icing on the cake is for everyone to visually see how cool we all always have been.
Great accomplishment....

hey dude congrats. firstly my wife fancies you, its ok she ugly. im having my op on the 26th feb cant wait, were you left with much excess skin sorry for askin cause you look cool in the pics.
paddyboy1916 3 years ago
Thanks for the congrats. As for your question about the excess skin, I was left with some around my lower abdomen and my chest. its ok though I might get the excess skin removed but my health was my first concern and then my next step is a body lift. This is something to consider after about a year and a half or two years so to allow your skin to shrink and catch up to the rapid weight loss if it is bothersome to you. I hope this helps you and good luck with the surgery.

are you able to drink beer afterwards?
latinoheat361 3 years ago
You can but I would recommend you don't. The problem you run into is beer has carbonation and will stretch your newly sized stomach and any alcohol will hit you like a junuor high school girl.......
