A Gastric Bypass Success Story

Kylie Crovo has lost 89 pounds following her gastric bypass surgery 6 months ago. Congrats Kylie! She spoke to me three months after her surgery for my December 6 Wired News storyTrimming XL Skin to Fit XS Body.

Now, she's reached the 6-month post-surgery milestone and says she couldn't be happier with her progress.

I am doing great, I am so happy I could cry sometimes. I feel like for the first time in my 17 years I am really enjoying life, you realize how good that feels? I can shop in normal clothing stores, I can walk up flights of stairs and not have to stop to catch my breath or dread it the next time I have to do it. The stairs by Sea Cliff Beach, no problem anymore, I don't even think about it.

She says she's even enjoying working out at the gym. And you can see for yourself that she looks amazing. Keep it up Kylie!
