Overview
At 48 years old and 485 pounds, Jerry Quinn was on the verge of being completely immobile. His knee pain was so severe that he needed surgery. He wasn ’t able to walk inside a store from its parking lot without needing to rest. But after having weight loss surgery, Quinn lost more than half of his body weight in 10 months and credits his faith for getting him through.
