Jess Bypasses Weight-Loss Surgery and Discovers Isagenix®

Before discovering Isagenix® a few years ago, 67-year-old Jess was more than 300 pounds and on the brink of scheduling gastric bypass surgery. His doctor worried about his increasingly poor health and felt that surgery was Jess’ last option after several dieting attempts had failed to produce results. Luckily, a chance meeting with a friend in his Oregon town changed everything.

His good friend, nicknamed “Big Jerry” for his robust profile, suddenly had shrunk by more than 100 pounds.* Jerry, not quite living up to his nickname anymore, handed Jess his Isagenix business card and went on his way.

After careful consideration, Jess decided to give Isagenix a try. Within just a few months, he noticed amazing results and his doctor even took him off the list for gastric bypass surgery. Though he’d lost more than 50 pounds* initially, the former police officer decided to take his weight-loss and health efforts to the next level and entered the 2008 IsaBody Challenge™.

“Isagenix has allowed me to defeat the yo-yo effect of many other diet programs that failed me in the past,” says Jess. “This is the only thing that I’ve found that helped me to feel like I did when I was 30 years younger. My body has become the miracle God intended it to be, thanks to Isagenix.”

Chosen as second-place winner in the men 60+ age category in the Challenge, Jess lost 32 pounds and dropped from a belt size 42 to 38.* He’s grateful for the competition because it has helped him to be an example to others who may think that Isagenix is just another fad diet.

“People ask me if I’m still using the products and I tell them that I’m on Isagenix for life,” says Jess. “The Challenge really motivated me to be a good role model to other people who could benefit from the products like I have.”

A family history of health challenges and obesity, Jess says his wife has lost 70 pounds* and his daughters have successfully lost weight and improved their health with Isagenix, too. He still wishes he had been able to share Isagenix with some of the members of his family years ago when they were suffering from health problems and passed away.

“I used to be a couch potato and would just eat and sleep before Isagenix helped me to create a completely new and active lifestyle,” shares Jess, choking up. “There’s no way I will ever go back to the way I was. I’m proof that it’s never too late to change your life.”

*Weight-loss results may vary.
