Jack Greystoke was over 700 pounds and was never happy with how he felt about himself. His friends were kind to him but they knew that his health was going down the drain with every hamburger he shoved down his throat. There was a point where he just had to say to himself "I control my own destiny" and that is exactly what he did.
He hit the gym every day and he didn't just focus on his cardio but on the weights and stretching. He wanted to create a sustainable weight loss program that would help him stay that way. Weight lifting allowed him to keep his metabolism at its best.
When people commit to these plans, they see weight loss happen. The truth is that many of these exercise programs and diets actually work. People drop pounds when they take part in these plans. The consistent exercise combined with healthier eating make all the difference.
He or she will do this so that he or she can see what they're doing inside and around the stomach. The doctor then will wrap a band around the top of the stomach that forms a ring. The ring is attached to a thin tube that leads to an access port that is left under the patient's skin after surgery is completed. The doctor will use the access port to put in or take away saline with a needle.
If the doctor wants to tighten the ring and make the stomach smaller, he or she will add saline in through the access port. If the doctor wants to loosen the ring and make the stomach smaller, he or she will remove saline via the access port.
While the doctor is performing the surgery, the band around the stomach does not inflate. The patient has to start recovering from the surgery in order for the doctor to add saline so that the ring tightens and the stomach is made smaller.
We can all see how weight loss benefitted Jack. Not only did he get more rest and strength, but his energy sored to new levels. There are many times in our lives that we may look back and say, "that was really hard", but in the end the benefits can far outweigh the efforts. Here are some hidden benefits that Jack found along the way.
He was much more encouraged to go outside. He found that he had to reintroduce himself to people that used to know him because they couldn't recognize him. This actually made him smile and he would always be able to tell his story and how he was able to beat obesity
