Matthew’s Story

From 451 pounds to a second chance at life

At 40, Matthew weighed 451 pounds and faced serious health issues, including diabetes, sleep apnea and high blood pressure. Afraid he might not live to see his kids grow up, he turned to OhioHealth for help.

After Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, Matthew lost 201 pounds — and gained his life back. He can run, play with his kids and enjoy everyday moments again. Even more life-changing: his diabetes is gone.

“Weight loss surgery gave me a second chance at life.”

Rafat’s Story

From struggling to keep up to discovering strength

Rafat believed weight loss surgery was a last resort, even as daily life became harder. A moment on a trip, when he couldn’t keep up with friends, made him realize something had to change.

After Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery at OhioHealth, Rafat not only lost weight — he gained confidence, energy and a new passion. Today, he’s a personal trainer and competitive Olympic weightlifter.

“Surgery helped me build a life I never thought possible.”
