A.J. and Rebecca Clay's Dramatic Weight Loss Story

At a combined 695 pounds, A.J. and Rebecca Clay of North Charleston, SC were both morbidly obese and headed down a lifelong path of poor health. “I was born fat and thought I would die fat,” says A.J. “That was my attitude.” After seeing many success stories about weight loss surgery, they did extensive research for themselves and discovered MUSC has a bariatric surgery program that has been rated a Center Of Excellence. Rebecca underwent gastric bypass surgery in July of 2007 and A.J. followed.
