He credits the lap-band with his success, and his current focus is on helping others achieve their own weight loss goals when they are investigating or have chosen to use any weight loss surgical procedure as an aid. BariatricPal.com is one of Alex's major projects. He was a 255-pound man whose weight had gone up and down his entire life as he tried diet after diet. He got weight loss surgery done and was finally able to consistently make healthy dietary choices to lose weight and keep it off.
