Orange County Bariatric Patient – Harley

Harley is one of our Orange County gastric bypass surgery patients who had dramatic results after surgery. About 18 months his surgery, Harley has lost more than 370 pounds, and completely changed his life. In this clip, Harley talks about his dramatic transformation.

I urgently came to see Dr. LePort because I was 652 pounds. I had a pannus that hung down below my knees and I could barely walk, I was having other health related issues, lymphedema that kind of thing. I just started a new life with my wife and that kind of stuff and I just wanted to be around for a long time and at the rate I was going, I was not going to be. It has been an amazing transformation between that and where I am at now. I am about 18 months out from my surgery. I have lost about 370 pounds and I walk, I run the family errands, I am going to school, I get ready to get back to work that kind of things, so it has been amazing. Dr. LePort, he pays attention, he listens, he is very aware of what’s going on even whenever I had a health issue, recently as well as last May when it had nothing to do with the weight loss surgery, he was there. He came in and saw me and that just meant a lot to me. Dr. LePort has just, he has really been there for me and that has been amazing, never had a doctor do that before.
