The Journey Begins

Life at Home
In 2020, J.T. was living in Oklahoma with his girlfriend, Jessica, and his dog. Having been unable to work for several years due to his weight, J.T. relied on Jessica for support and sustenance. His addiction to food was a central theme in his struggle, with J.T. candidly admitting that eating was more important to him than anything else, stating, “Nothing in my life can compete with how food makes me feel.”
A Harrowing Road to Houston
Realizing the severity of his situation, J.T. made the life-altering decision to travel to Houston to seek Dr. Now’s help. Although faced with numerous challenges, including the end of his relationship with Jessica, J.T. remained determined to pursue his weight loss journey under Dr. Now’s care. Through sheer perseverance and dedication, J.T. managed to shed nearly 400 pounds while under Dr. Now’s guidance.
Life After Surgery
Following a life-changing gastric sleeve surgery, J.T. underwent a transformative journey, ultimately shedding a total of 373 pounds. His progress was not only evident physically but also emotionally, as he appeared to be in a much better place post-surgery. Furthermore, J.T. underwent surgery to remove the massive lymphedema on his leg, marking another significant milestone in his weight loss journey.

In recent years, J.T. has continued to make strides in his weight loss journey.
