  • @pennw1963 u are a fuckwit

  • What an awesome video posted by an awesome guy! Call me, LOL!

  • The video is great. I am in the prossess of getting to my surgery day.

    Very excited and your video really helped me to get excited :0) Can't wait to wear a bathing suit (never in my life even tried one on) AWesome!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow you look gorgeous now :) And like 20 years younger :) I had GBP myself 6 months ago and am almost down to my wish-weight :) So i know how you feel. You are hot now ;)

  • did u get additional lipo?

  • You look great!

  • I hope that beer is non carbonated.. Hahaha.. I had my sleeves last Monday.. I don't wanna give up COFFEE!

  • Hey, fellow Spurs fan! I had my Roux-en-Y surgery in August 2010 and am currently down nearly 80 pounds so far. Best decision I ever made....for my family as well as for myself. Hope you're still doing well! I really enjoy watching your video....it inspires everyone. Take care, and GO SPURS GO!

  • For those that are thinking of doing this surgery and are scared for the pain...well I did mine last friday (06 may 2011). Ok the pain is there but everyday it is better. The painkillers make the little pain you have comfortable.

    I am happy i took this step and hopefully I can make such a video too.

    Hi5 Sean

  • @mschutters Best of luck! Hang in there, the results you get will be more than worth the sacrifice you made!

  • I am up in the middle of the night contemplating surgery. I have an appointment in a couple of weeks with a surgeon. I couldn't sleep. So I watched your video. I feel better. You look great. I hope you're still doing well. Thanks for posting this.

  • your very handsome!

  • great video, i just had gastric bypass on jan. 10, 2011 ,im having a really hard time , this video gave me strenght to continue the fight thanx....

  • Way to go! Congratulations on your success!

  • @heysean. I love your video. I must watched it 10 times. I'm 6'5 430 & should have the gastric sleeve in 2-3 months. Did you have any issues w/ excess skin? Thanks a lot

  • Thanks Sean. I have an appointment with my Dr next week to talk about it. Im still freaking out, but you responding to me really helped......Thanks again.....Ed

  • I had gastric-bypass on Oct. 25th of 2010 and I never felt any pain or discomfort. It has truely been a miracle. The start of a new life, especially with my support group. One has to be in this with total heart and soul, for it is truely life changing for the better. A new life if you will. Thanks Dr. Pilcher.

  • @JOEYSLOOKIN AMEN....... Thanks Dr. Pilcher.

  • Hi Sean. Im thinking about having the surgery, but im freaking out about it. Was it worth it? How was the recovery? I dont know what 2 do. I just cant be this heavy anymore.....Your thoughts???? Partymann@gmail.com

  • @Ed7673 worth every penny. every discomfort and very life changing..... I had the same thoughts you have now........ no regrets here.....

  • how tall are you?

  • @yankovic1234 6 ft 7 in

  • i had my surgery in 09-15-2009 i used to be 406 pound now 245 im 6 feet 2 inches and i feel great

  • I had my gastric bypass 'roux-en-Y' surgery on Dec. 20, 2010 ... and I feel fine!

  • damn you're tall haha. congratulations on your success! you shouldn't smoke, I hope you stopped :)

    and i Can definitely see "The Sound of Silence" song in this video.

    thanks for sharing!

  • Thanks for sharing, weighing the options right now. 

  • You Look Good, nice work but you need to tackel one more health issue! STOP SMOKING CIGS

  • 3:46 to all haters, you look good after =)

  • You are an inspiration buddy, I'm at 375 lbs and 6' tall and am miserable, I've started the paper work referals with my regular Dr. and all that stuff so in a couple months I should begin my journey. I've only been this big for about 10 years so I'm hoping I will do well. How did you tighten your skin? Just exercise or? Take care and great job!

  • Congradulation my friend ,by the way you look happy and zen .

    I feel that you a lot of real good friend too !!

    I felt good while i was watching your vid.

    Bye bye :)

  • by the way u look fantastic!

  • heysean. just had mine done on Sept. 15th 2010. It's been two months and i'm down 60 lbs already. Just wanted to tell you what an inspiration this video was. I keep coming back to it to tell myself it can be done!! Well before surgery i lost 120 lbs diet and excercise only in 5 1/2 months my heaviest was 520lbs. I'm down to 342 as of this posting. Thanks again for posting this video!

  • you look incredible! well done, and beautiful smile :)

  • hahaha.. loved the video.. good job.. looks like 2 diff people.. but i guess i look a lot dif 2..

  • amazing song. and congrats on the loss.

  • much safer and easier to just eat healthy, you dont even need to workout that much and you will still lose alot of weight. do the work and you get results. works the same in all things in life no need to do this

  • I'm 400+ pounds to preface my joke. I see giant Ray Ramano didn't give up beer after surgery, since every picture includes one. :)

  • Hey, Man! Great Transformation... I'm going to have done soon.. Six month wait after approval was hard, Now Its coming to an end. November is coming soon.. Kind of anxious.

  • wow..... Great Job

  • good jop

  • Nice vedeo, you've done really well with the operation....; )

  • How heavy were you when took the plunge?

  • @NVanWendy 466

  • Battled with weight entire life. No surgery. 70 per cent diet, 20 per cent fitness, 10 per cent genetics. Noticed you smoke and drink (empty calories). Do you exercise? That will be the key and slowing down on liquor consumption. Not judging, I have seen the same with friends. Got the band, lost weight, didn't change lifestyle habits, gained it all back and then some. Surgery starts the change, but dedication and focus to living healthy is key.

  • WONDERFUL! Congratulations, I'm really happy for you, thanx alot for sharing. Wish you the best future

  • well done for having the balls to do it ,ive been yo yoing from 170 kilos to 100 for 20 years im now 125 kilos and i totaly think that an operation is not an easy way out because you still have to do a lot of hard work its the same as losing weight the natural way only there is no going back which would have helped me . looking good mate well done from the uk.

  • I haven't had the surgery yet but people talk so much bullshit about how this is the easy way out..FYI if you haven't been more than 100 pounds over weight you should really just shut the fuck up because you really can't talk about something you have never struggled with..20-50 pounds really isn't anything. I've lost 80 pounds all by myself and the weight doesn't go down I do everything I possibley can to eat healthy I never have any soda and I stay away from junk! so STFU..

  • @goldenwench I AGREE!!! This is the easy way out!!! I did it the hard way too. In the pics you can tell that his bad habits have not changed and as soon as his stomach streches out he will gain all of his weight back.

  • @Smosh234 Just for the record, I hit the gym 5 days a week to keep the weight off, including running and weight training. Statistically, I'm past the watermark for most that gain the weight back, as that usually occurs within 4 years out of surgery. Food is not a pleasure nowadays as much as it is fuel to me now... Congratulations on your weight loss, whatever method you did to achieve it...

  • @Smosh234 what a hater!!!!!! who cares how he did it the important fact is he is now healthier so shush it bucko...lol

  • How long did it take you to loose the weight? I just had surgery aug 12th, 2010 , i;ve lost about 35lbs so far. I see your spurs hat, im from san antonio, and had my surgery at methodist transplant hospital w/ dr. reiss new diamentons.

    Gina

  • @gina78213 Dr. Pilcher preformed mine... ;) I lived in South Florida and came back to have it done... There was no comparison to be made with the Dr.s I researched in Florida....

  • @gina78213 Hi my name is lupe im from california i had gastric bypass in April 6,2010 i have lost a total of a lil over a 120 lbs .

  • @gina78213 Hi my name is lupe im from california i had gastric bypass in April 6,2010 i have lost a total of a lil over a 120 lbs .

  • yeah its awesome your now thin but how can people say ''oh well done'', '' you have done great'' when you didnt do the hard work yourself you has your stomach shrunk so you couldnt feel the hunger pains.. iv lost 120lbs just through diet and exercise no surgery!!! i can be told ''you did great'' you cant.. i know i sound like a bitch it just pisses me off when people cheat and have surgery and get praise, people that do it on there own through pure determination deserve the praise!!

  • I don't think you understand the full responsibility of the procedure. Most people tend to put the weight back on if they don't use this tool properly. The surgery is a tool, and not a singular solution. Just for the record, I hit the gym 5 days a week to keep the weight off, including running and weight training. This procedure would be for naught, if things didn't change in my life.  I'm sure if you posted your success on this medium, you would get the attention you so desire..

  • @GoldenWench Hunger pains?

    I've lost over 100 pounds recently by exercise and diet and I never had any hunger pains. It isn't hard dieting at all. Why do some people find it so hard to diet?

    If you get hunger pains you probably need to eat something. A healthy diet should have enough calories so that you're not getting hunger pains.

  • @JeffBM1

    You are a liar. Or a rare case, I've lost 100 pounds (diet & exercise) and you get really hungry when you are dieting. Maybe your body is special. "Why do some people find it so hard to diet?"...what a ridiculous thing to say. FYI: unlike that person I 'm fine with people who do Gastric Bypass, if I was big enough I would consider it but at 295, looking more like 210, I could never get a consideration

  • your t-shirts are awesome

  • yeaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! cowboys!!!hehehehe god job man

  • Sean, Great video. I'm 7 years out from my surgery and have kept it off. I am down from 320 to 180. I went from a 54 waist to a 34 waist. Keep the faith. Your awesome. I was fortunate to have my surgery done by the same doc that did Al Roker. RobKonig

  • wow you lost so much weight,

    i just had the sleeve gastrectomy done exactly 1 week & 2 days ago

    & i already lost 20lbs. It amazing how your life changes so fast!

If i had one wish just one wish of my life i will wish to have enough money to pay for surgery or to have health insurance to help me pay.Isee my self as a fat guy that has no life to live no more.But im holding on

  • That is pretty awesome Seab, I had the bypass just under 4 months ago and I have lost 80 pounds. Nice to know I will be able to drink beer at some point again - but small sacrifice to take now. Had a couple glasses of red wine last night and was blitzed beyond belief...cheap drunk now!! Congrats on your success

  • yea dont stretch that new stomache out if you havent already

  • Lucky you I've had a gastric band for 5 years and put on weight, I'm waiting now to see whats next.

  • hos much is this gastric bypass surgery i use to weight 260 when i was 13 which was back in 2005 thrn i looked at my self in the mirror one daya dn knew i had to lose weight for myself so i did worked my ass off from 05 to 07 and weighed 190 but then i went back to 236 which is where i am now :( i cant help it...

  • you look great

  • I like this song

  • You're hilarious! A little beer? There is beer in almost every photo! Giver~

  • You look great, I had surgery 10/08 and I'm down 200lbs, I feel awesome, keep up the good work!

  • Hey Sean, I am now 3 week post op with 32 pounds gone! And I just noticed that my first couple attempts at posting in fact did make onto this comment portion. Didn't mean to have 3 of the same one show up. Thought two had failed to post...I guess not. Also, a beer doesn't bother you? They warned us to NOT have anything carbonated ever- we'd explode or something. A beer will taste good in a few months I 'spect. Thanks again, great vid, great Creed song.

  • what is gastric bypass?

  • @heysean

    your handsome!

  • you found your smile, x enjoy life

  • fantastico...

  • Congrats!

  • Did you eventually quit smoking?

  • Awesome, how are you doing these days?

  • @rexxcarz

    6'7

  • @heysean I am happy you are doing well would love to know where u had surgery done

  • @pattir3101 In San Antonio Methodist Hosptial

  • @heysean SO did I! Who was your surgeon?

  • @Ellewilliams Pilcher

  • @heysean awesome mine was dr. duperier

  • Sean - dude, I am 2 weeks from MY transformation (RNY), will lose 120 to get to 180. You look great, man. BTW, how tall are you?

  • @rexxcarz  6'7

  • It all returns within 5 years if you're not careful! And drinking makes the face sag and age

  • I am getting my surgery in Aug. I am a 27 yr old female with 2 kids and I want to be healthy for them. And DSHS is actually gonna pay for it for me YEPPY. Congrats on the weight loss

  • Congrats on the loss bro! 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

  • Baptist East has a program ...it's still at least a 6 month process to have the surgery and they'll put you on a couple of diets and make you see a specialist... unfortunately, I doubt any doctor will do this surgery without insurance... unless it's totally life or death. You can still go to the info session, I think they run it a couple of times a month at Baptist East....

  • You look awsome. You were cute big 2. I just started my process last Friday. Still waiting on hospital to call me in for evaluation. Any tips?

  • You look great...not only for the weight-loss you are very nice looking!

  • Great vid man. I am two weeks post op right now...just starting to eat some regular food. I hope I can do as well as you.

  • Handsome before weight loss. I love me some big boys. Your still cute although smaller.

  • My wife had her RNY done in Mexico and was great and she is doing well. Mexico is 1/4 the cost of the US docs and hospitals. It cured her diabetes and high blood pressure too.

  • BUT IT IS MORE DANGEROUS?

  • 7500 AND THEY FINANCE

  • NO ! MORE  SO SAFE

  • I think you look great! (Hate that suit though) lol

  • This isn't meant to be nasty, but it appears to me that everyone who gets this surgery ends up looking 20 years older and like a wrinkly saggy deflated balloon. If I were very large I would just deit and exercise and try not to lose more than 2-3 pounds/week..that way my body elasticity can keep up with the weight loss.

  • ....U look wonderful.... Godbless you

  • Seems to be alot of drinking after the op,drinking piles the pounds on easy.Before anyone says anything I cannot drink due to a medical condition,the last time I drank was in 2003.

  • So I am in the process and will set date tomorrow for surg. Being honest I like to have my drinks.I see Coors lt alot how has that effected U? I cant go for a life time with out a drink. Can for 7-8 months.

  • I think you were and still are a good looking man. YOU look really tall! Great share!

  • I had my bypass surgery on Monday the 21st of this month so it will be a week in 2 hours...already i have lost 25 lbs its crazy. So amazing. i cant wait to keep losing! you feel so much better. life changing.

  • wow!!!!!! 25 lbs in two weeks? which surqery did u had???

  • I had my bypass 3 days ago.. I know how nervous i was in the weeks pre op.. maybe these few words can halp anyone having second thoughts on whether to go ahead ... I had a little pain relief for 6 hours after op and i have not needed any since, i have not been sick at any time since op and so far no complications, i,m getting yogurt and pureed food down no problem ... don,t be scared look at the amazing results this guy has atchieved and go for it ... good luck ..

  • hahaha i feel you i was so nervous dha day before of my surqery i couldn sleep dha whole niqht i had my surqery on oct 1st 09.... i hope u r doinq qreat nd qood luck

  • @priinceziita91 Hi and thanks for your kind comments... I,m now 33 days post op and 33 lbs lighter... so far the whole process has been easier than i imagined.... the weight loss post op as you will know depends on two main factors 1. how heavy you were in the first case and 2. how much weight you lost pre op ( in my case 30 lbs).. this guy has done fantastic and should be an inpiration to us all.... my advice to anyone reading this thinking about the op is DO IT ...

  • how much does it cost ?

  • In the United Kingdom all medical treatment is free but to have weight loss surgery you have to meet certain criteria ie. high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholestrol etc ... or at least one of those... As i said the surgery is free but you have to show a commitment to lose weight pre op for some 15 months in my case that weight loss was 20 kilos ( about 44lbs ) .. pre op and i,m now on day 49 post op and another 49 lbs have gone...

  • dang im 17 and weight 250 lbs again:( i had weighed 190 bakk in 2007 and gain the weight bakk i cant control my self i need to talk to me doctor bout this

  • Sean, I am stalled at 260 from 382 for 2 months now. It is winter here very cold!

    How did you cope with it? Best Wishes Bob in Filer Idaho

  • i was told never again beer soda or alchol anyways .. he looks great but huh COORS always in his hands.. im having it reall soon and omg i cant weight lol get it

  • Good advice but I am 7 months out and lite beer is nothing. My doc told me to take Prilosec for the first three months, No alcohol, . I waited for 5 months before a sip, See your doc for YOU and not U-TUBE, be safe and waite a year is always best they say.

  • You're lookin' great! Congrats!

    Alcohol and bypass?? BAD mix, watch out!

  • Hi sean! just wanted to say congrats and you look amazing!

  • man u looked sick in the hosbital pics

  • SLIPKNOT!

  • I am down a hundred now, thaks for all your feeds.

    Bob in Idaho

  • congrats!!

  • Hey Sean, I just wanted to tell you how fantastic you look, congratulations!

  • I see your a smoker how did you get through that and still smoke? i am too was just wondering

  • WOW! You look awesome, but you were still hot pre sugery. Have you had any major issues? I had mine in 2001 and lost over 200 lbs.

    I'd love to chat with you email me, I'm trying to get some feedback from other people.

    However, a glass of wine hits a lot harder these days.

  • Right on man hope you are happier now

  • so what happens now to all the extra skin on the upper sides of your ribs and your lower abs?

    any plans to get that dead weight removed?

  • i was told thumb but what ever and i talked to her she said it was rny

  • i am not sure i just know that she had gastric bypass and that her stomach is the size of her thumb.

  • no the size of an egg

  • The RNY is a tool to weight loss, we have to change our life style and eatting habbits.

  • wow!! i am glad the surgry went well for you.

    my mom had the surgry and she did great at first and now she is gaining it all back and is going to be having it again. i am very concerned for her and dont really want her having it again, cause i didnt want her having it the 1st time either.

    i am so glad the surgry works though!

  • wHAT KIND OD BYPASS DID SHE HAVE ?

  • miraculous

  • Good stuff brother.

  • what was ur original weight?

  • 466...

  • hi. great pics. gee, wasnt hard to tell youre from texas. giggles. good job losing the weight. i hope to follow in your footsteps. thanks for making this video. waves~~~ from dallas

  • That is amazing!! You look like a different person and you look so happy! Well done you!!!

  • It's better now.... You are a winner... I want to do it but i am afraid... You rebirth....

  • Hey sean, update on me... On july 20, will be my 5th month and I have lost a total of 121 pounds! I am loving life now!

  • Well mister u rock, what a fantastic transformation, i bet your life is a bit more enjoyable ..... so keep enjoying

  • Listen to your doctor, I know somebody that gained all the weight back! Quit smoking , I did, was the hardest thing I have ever done, but it is possible-

    Be good! Texas is the place to be!

  • WOW...You look amazing. I had the surgery (roux-n-y) in 2001 and have pretty much kept the weight off, even after having my son 5 yrs ago. For those who have never REALLY battled weight, they can't appreciate what this does for us. I just have one question...how tall are you? Congrats on your success!!!!!

  • I'm 6ft 7in.......

  • i justa had mu bypass surgery this last saturday , and aleady feel great. i am 215 pounds before surgey and type 2 diabetis. i am on liquids diet now. but you now what people it is not that hard, and the recoupe time is awsome i was walking 4 hours after surgery.

    if anybody have questions i can tell you some of my advise tips also

    the hard part is finding the money for the surgey!!

  • how did you raise the money for the surgery? I just don't have the funds for this. I just don't understand why insurance doesn't cover it. Seems it would be less expensive in the long run

  • Three months post op for me! Fingers crossed for an outcome likes yours

  • 55 days out and minus 65 lbs, WOW

    THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION SEAN, PEACE

  • Oh my god - u actually look amazingg!! im seriously thinkin about going for the op, but having a look at the advantages & disadvantages - but u look well, all the best - x
