I lost 45 pounds in 3 months — thanks to a ‘game changer’ new technique

The weight is no longer sticking to him.

A Texas man is halfway to his 90-pound weight loss goal after undergoing a new bariatric surgery option that involves magnets.

“I’ve been able to do fantastic improvements in my quality of life, and so I’m very, very happy and fulfilled, and feel like I’ve turned back the time,” Kenneth Yerrid, 50, told the NBC affiliate in Dallas/Fort Worth last week.

Yerrid faced a higher risk of heart disease and stroke because he had high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol — a trinity that forms the basis of metabolic syndrome.

When diet and exercise failed to make an impact, Yerrid agreed to become the first person in Texas to make use of the Levita Magnetic Surgical System (MARS).

“It felt like I was in quicksand,” Yerrid said in a statement last month. “I had aches and pains in my joints and that caused me to gain weight. I was not eating healthy. It wasn’t until I had the surgery that I was able to start on a path to improving my health.”
