I met Ramon in 2004 just before his weight loss surgery. We became incredible friends through “paying it forward” to the weight loss surgery community. Debra Flores joined us to create RYD Obesity and the three of us have been inseparable since. This is Ramon’s story. Thanks to Craig Thompson at The Weight Loss Surgery Channel I was given the opportunity to do a show called Weight Loss Surgery Journeys and the latest episode features Ramon. Please check it out at www.weightlosssurgerychannel.com and click on programs and choose WLS Journeys. My site is www.bariatricgirl.com.

@xxwes997xx Please keep the faith.. Are you on disability? There are all sorts of ways of getting help..
@xxwes997xx Feel free to email any time.. I love helping others.. Remember to pay it forward..
@Dizzidc I was very blessed I went from taking 14 pills a day now I take my vitamins and that is all.. The surgery is a blessing..
@pammymh60 I am so proud of you please take plenty of pictures.. I look back and they inspire me.. Thanks for the kind words..
@drummerchum I hope that your surgery went well.. I have to say that Yvonne has been a God send to me..

@justyvonne well, im 21 yrs old. 315 lbs and ive been trying to lose it for 6 years. i loose 5 here and gain 10 there…its nonstop. Appreciate any info you got though. my grandma got the lap band and she lost over 100 lbs on it. but all the online resources ive researched says it costs like 10,000$+
@xxwes997xx Actually you might be surprised. There are many options. I know a few that have had surgery through medicare and some that have traveled out of the country so there are some options. Please feel free to send me a message if I can be of help.
i wish i could get this…theres no hope for people w/o insurance to pay :’(
Wow! That’s amazing. I’m in the process of the lapband, being monitored and hopefully will take my 350lbs down to a no pain in my knees. A little scared however know I can do it and enjoy the rest of my life. I’m 43 soon to be 44 and never thin! Always up n down, the most I’ve lost alone was 60lbs and kept it off for almost 2 years. Ramon is very inspiring!
@pammymh60 CONGRATS!! I will tell Ramon you saw it. It is a new life and you deserve it! Thanks for the kind words!
I’m having Gastric Bypass I went to my first meeting today for my preop session on the diffrences in gastric & lapband as well as what procedure is best for you. I tell you the b4 and after pictures as well as the testimonials are unbelivable as well as this one with Ramon! God’s Speed Ramon! I tell you I can’t WAIT! New life here I come! I CAN”T WAIT!
@drummerchum Best of luck to you! Don’t worry…everyone feels nervous to some degree. I’d love to invite you to check out my blog. It’s called Bariatric Girl. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help. It saved my life!
Im having the band at the end of the month and i was really nervous. After seeing your video and others on you tube Im looking forward to this journey and exited for a new life. Thank You
Hey there Ms. Robyn.. I am sorry that I missed your call the other day.. All I ask is that you pay it forward and help others.. It was so cool to meet you in Cali and I am glad that I was able to inspire you.. Love U too Girl..
I love the fact that I am a shadow of myself.. Please know that it would not have been possible without the help of some great friends.. Bless you
