When Brandon walked into Bon Secours — Mary Immaculate Hospital, he was ready for a change. At his highest weight of 498 pounds, he says he felt miserable and knew it was time to take control of his health and his future.
After connecting with Dr. Anthony Terracina and the bariatric team at Bon Secours — Surgical Specialists in Newport News, VA, Brandon began a life-changing journey. In less than a year, he has lost more than 200 pounds, transforming not just his health, but his entire lifestyle.
“When I woke up from surgery, I asked when it was going to start. I never felt any pain,” Brandon shared. “Dr. T and his team were professional, patient with all my questions and truly excellent every step of the way.”
Today, Brandon is living a healthier, more active life and hopes his story inspires others considering bariatric surgery to take that first step.
“I’m grateful for a team that believed in me and helped me change my life.”
