Today, Bill is living his best life, focusing on physical activity and having the energy to keep up with his children.

During his own childhood though, he struggled with obesity, which followed him to adulthood. 14-hour days at work meant unhealthy eating habits slowly crept in and led to weight gain.

When his first child was born in 2013, he began to focus on his health. Surgery was a far-away option, but not completely off the table.

"I think we should consider it," he told his wife.

In May 2023, he worked with Orlando Health Weight Loss and Bariatric Surgery Institute to develop a plan that involved bariatric surgery, lifestyle changes and a nutrition plan.

"It's not the easy way out," says Bill, who's now an avid cyclist preparing for his first triathlon.

Here's to his incredible transformation.
