He also shared his experiences before and after weight loss surgery “Words cannot explain how I feel to be a lot lighter! I used to count down the work hours for the weekends to start to then sit in the lounge for two days because I didn’t have the energy to do anything. I started to see my bad habits show in my children and that was heartbreaking, I didn’t want them to end up like me. After my surgery, we regularly go camping, fishing, go on family walks and all enjoy a healthier and active lifestyle. I don’t count down to the weekend and waste it on the couch anymore. I have since purchased an older 4WD which I’m in the process of doing up ready for some more fun and adventures. Due to my size, I let so many opportunities with my family pass me by, I’m sure making up for it now!”  – Ashley’s-
