Tom I am just now starting to watch your videos and I just want to say congrats to you on your awesome transformation.
I know I watched this video before and got teary eyed and I just watched it again and again got teary eyed. I had VSG (Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy) on Dec. 15, 2009. Down 78 lbs in 4 months! I love your story and am so glad that you shared it.
Tom.. I must have missed this milestone.. congratulations.. I’m so proud to call you a friend of mine. You’re the diggity dog………
Very cool story, I am looking forward to catching up on your journey. I would like to see a video explaining the duodenal switch, this is the first time I have ever even heard of it.
I came across your account for the first time today, and this video had me in tears. You look so great and did an amazing job. you gave me so much strenght watching this. Thank you..
gratulation from “team never walk alone nürnberg”
oh gosh you look amazing! your videos have been so inspiring to me. thanks for sharing your life with all of us.
Awsome transformation! You have done a phenomenal job in using your wls tool to transform your life. What is greatest of all to see as you go through your transformation is the the life and light that literally emanates from you as you move towards and reach your goal. Great video!
nice vid i recently had the same procedure done on aug. 17 and today was the day i got to go get my bulbs out and see my results so far. i was amazed at the results for 1 week i weighed in at 315 the day of the surgery and as of today i am at 296. i lost 19 pounds in 1 week and i am hoping that i continue like this. i had had no problems or pains and all has been good for me. b4 the operation i would see your vids and they are the reasons y i decided on this surgery. thanks for the great vids.
OH TOM!!! I didn’t see this until today! Wouldja just look at YOU? I’m sooo happy for you! I really think I simply adore you, and your video made me cry!! Congrats on your amazing success, Tom! You’re an inspiration for sure!!!!
Love, Lori Black
I have watched so many of the videos that show your transformation. I kept saying to myself: I remember that video. Yeah, I do.

Hi, Tom,
You are such an inspiration to me (and others).
Thank you for sharing your story.
Tom, once again, thanks so much for being an inspiration, for changing my life.. i would have never guessed that this year we would be running a marathon together and i can’t tell you how much that means to me.
Thanks Sweetie!! I miss your videos!
I hope to make it up for another!! I was just in NYC on Monday for the day.
Awesome! yes it’s addictive for sure. I’ll be in Baltimore!! Virginia Beach in 4 weeks!!
Thanks. I’ll check you out soon!
Thanks for that! I am going to keep pushing myself to stay active. It’s key to long term success!
Thank you for watching!
You are fabulous for posting this video and I only wish you the best as you continue this journey.
Great video…and great success. Congrats on all your dedication and effort. Hope only good things come your way in the future.
Tom, you were one of the first people I subscribed to on youtube when researching WLS, and I just can’t believe how far you’ve come in a year! Between you and MissJanie, I’m so inspired to be a runner again (I was way back when). I got my WLS on July 21, 2009 – just 10 days ago, and just started posting videos, if you’re interested. Thanks for the inspiration!!
I did a half marathon in Alaska last year with Team in Training and am now a mentor for the program and will be out at the Baltimore half cheering on my mentees. I am having my RNY on Aug 14 and can’t wait until my surgeon gives me the okay to start training again so that I can get back into marathons. They are addictive, even if you only walk them like I did!
Congrats, Tom. Hope to see you at another luncheon soon.
WoW Tom CONGRATS
