Gary Anthone
"Dr A was my surgeon at USC 10 years ago. At the time of surgery I weighed almost 430 lbs. To my knowledge, my largest recorded weight was 434 lbs but at that time USC was the only place I was aware of that had scales that could read that much. Dr. A performed the roux-en-y on me, which was a very extensive surgery. I remained in the hospital for just over a week and at the time of discharge had already lost 5 lbs. After the first year I had lost a little over 100 lbs. Now 10 years later, at the age of 29, ( yes I was 19 at time of surgery, along with my twin brother who's was done by Dr. A on the same day) my life has completely changed. I weigh about 195 lbs, and work on wind turbines, a job that a 400 pound guy would have never been able to do. I am very physically fit and climb on average 1000 feet a day at work. The only thing I regret was allowing myself to get that large. The benefits far outweigh any problems. Thanks Dr. Anthogne for saving my life"
