100+ lbs & counting

JimSewell3642

In Dec 2023 at age 69, my BP spiked & got my wife to take me to ER. While there I had a heart attack. The ER staff did chest compressions for over an hour before mt heart finally stabilized. I was air lifted to a cardiac care hospital where I stayed for 3 weeks.

At the hospital, they recorded my weight at 367. I lost a good bit of eight during my hospital stay.

After a couple months of PT, I joined a gym & got serious about my health. To date, no further heart issues. I am down to 255 & counting. I'm having to buy new pants every other month 😅
