Congratulations Boogie, I had the Gastric Bypass Surgery In Jan of this year, I'm now down a total of 200 lbs (started at 582 in April of 2016, now at 382). It saved my life, i'm grateful every day for the new lease on life. I'll be praying and wishing you and your family nothing but the best my friend. Good luck on this journey.
Hey Boogie, my mother got a Gastric Bypass a couple of months ago and it was massively successful. However, something that you should know is that you need to take Vitamin supplements after it's done. Your stomach will be so small that you can't get a proper amount of vitamins and nutrients. For example, she didn't have enough protein in her diet so her hair started to thin. She started to take enough supplements and it returned to normal, but just something to keep in mind once the surgery is complete.
I don't really want to mention who because I know this person is still a bit self conscious, but someone very close to me underwent the same procedure about 7 years ago, and it absolutely changed her life. All her life, she was bullied and upset at herself for weighing 300 lbs. This surgery gave her that much-deserved second chance, and after just a year, she dropped down to 110 lbs, and continues to plateau at around that much to this day. She's become a very strong woman, and someone I absolutely admire for her willingness to not give up, and her integrity to see her journey through to her goal. We know you can do this Boogie! just be strong, like she had to be. You and her struggled in a lot of the same ways growing up. That's why I know you can do this! Be that huge inspiration to people, much like this person continues to be to me!
I look to you for my own courage to continue with my own fitness. I was able to lose 10 more LBS this month, and I hope you too continue! Don't ever give up.
I hope gastric bypass works for you, Boogie. It is a powerful tool that has helped many people; it has also been abused by, and been a disappointment to many. Use this tool knowing it is a weapon to fight the demon in your head; do not abuse this tool, it can hurt you badly. I love you, Boogie, fight the good fight; you of great value to many; a victory here would inspire many.
as a recovering drug addict with diabetes as well I cant stress to you enough how I understand where you are at. I just want to take the time to remind you that you have already taken the first step. You are on the right track and I know I'm not alone when I say that I support you very much and I have you and your family in my hopes and prayers. I am not sure if it will have the same impact on you as it did for me but knowing that people care is a major part of striving to be better. Love you man, you got this and I'm stoked for you. Remember this, if you have the impact in your own life it will effect others. GL HF man. Much love homie!
funkyfish1026 As sameone ho lost good friends due to drug addiction and have seen what it did to them, you have my upmost respect, it is a dayly struggle, some times throughout ones whole life, keep fighting my friend.
Oddly enough kinda in the middle, while my pancreas does produce insulin its a very small amount. I was just diagnosed late last year. Currently they have me on 2k MG of metformin a day 2 500 mil tabs in the am and in the pm and then a single use of long acting insulin in the evening. Altho my endocrinologist thinks that I may need to take a short acting insulin after I eat each meal...
I started at 523 im super close to 300..... You are going to rock the hell out of this... Im super proud of you and super happy that you are getting help!! WE ALL DESERVE TO LIVE!
hey boogie, how come you never give yourself any credit? you give everyone else credit for good things that happen to you when your the one who built this fucking empire. give yourself some love, your a fuckin bad ass, defeats all the odds and wins regardless. Cya on twitch later.
Steve, you gotta do it this time man. All these years have been leading up to this one last final time. I have a good feeling about this reset. Not only is it crucial to your health NOT to fuck your diet up after surgery (seriously, some harsh affects on that stomach post op) but if you stick with this almost perfectly, I know you'll lose close to 200 pounds in a year. Unless you're hormones are really outta wack, but you'll go from there haha. Best of luck buddy..you're gonna be a legend in the next few years if you do this right!
Good luck to you. I used to be 220 pounds so it's not comfortable, eventually I started doing keto and taking forskolin and it changed my life. Now i'm 120. Just keep on :)
Boogie2988 The biggest man on UA-cam with the : Biggest heart Best motivation Strongest will power Best entertainer Keep up the good work and reach your goals💪🏼💪🏼
Hearing the news that you could finally get the surgery made my week. I've been having a really rough week and hearing your news brought a smile to my face. I'm really happy for you and best of luck on the surgery!
So happy for you! As a nurse, I've cared for many patients after this surgery. I've seen it change lives in miraculous ways, and I've seen some fail. You've had some awesome things come your way that have changed your life for the better. This surgery is another wonderful opportunity. If you go in committed to succeed, Boogie, succeed you will. We'll all be pulling for you all the way.
Hey Boogie :) This is my first ever comment to you. I just wanted to wish you luck, you've clearly faced a LOT of battles in your life, I'm rooting for you :D
Words cannot describe how happy I am for you. I've been following your channel for the better part of 7 years now. I came for Francis, but I stayed for you; the real you. You're such an amazing human being with love and good intent in your heart. I have the utmost respect for you and wish you the best in anything you do. I've never seen you smile harder than in this video. You deserve the world, and now, you're getting it. Love ya, Boogie. Keep it up.
Congrats Boogie! Glad to see are making progress towards your goal. I'm aware of what you will be up against and it will be tough, but you have people in your life who love you and will keep up the hope the strength for you when you falter. When I approached some of the major crossroads I encountered, I used to approach it as a beginning of something new and the stress of tackling something like that made it tough. I too thought that when lung cancer finally took over my body I would finally be relieved of the bullshit I was facing. What helped me was thinking it was NOT the Beginning of one thing, but the death and freedom of another. I was finally going to put the last nail in this version of myself and be free of his shit. As I say farewell to the Old Boogie, I look forward to see the new Boogie rise from the ashes! Love ya buddy, seeya on the other side.
Boogie, I've watched you over the years off and on and always wondered about this. Im 28, 6'3 and weigh 430lbs. I can identify with you pretty closely. I just started my 6month doctor supervised diet (hoop to go through for insurance to cover the surgery) 2 days ago. I will be having the same surgery sometime in December or January. I hope to follow your journey as I am on mine. Best of luck to you and congratulations.
mark that is highly inaccurate. I would suggest not giving people advice when you don't fully understand the subject. you are right that it shouldn't be considered for anything but a last resort. but the rest of the stomach remains alive and well, still producing the liquids and enzymes it did before that mix with the digested food in the new stomach further down the intestines. it does not rot, and is still important.
I as 430 at the beginning of the year. I'm 350 now. I'm 5'11" and am a compulsive/boredom eater. I just load up on lettuce and spinach and compulsively eat that with some sort of protein source.
Steven, I have watched you since the very begging through multiple account,i watch your videos everyday rolling cigs,and watching it like it was TV. Your like my older brother. I can honestly say i have never disliked any of your videos. Today when this played you had me happy crying for the first time in years(balling),I couldn't be more happy and I do understand, I'm in the same boat only on the opposite spectrum,too skinny(love for you to talk about that)I'm so happy and worried,please tell me if something would ever happen you have a farewell video for us. I love you very much and I can't wait to see the next video. Please bump this guys so I know he see's this. :)
I almost teared up when you said you were getting the surgery in July. I'm so happy for you boogs. I've watched you for so long now, I can't believe it's finally happening. I can't wait to see how much happier this is going to make you. My heart goes out to you. Congratulations boogs, love you man.
You have been an inspiration to me boogie. I was 344 2 months ago and started a diet and started working out everyday. And 2 months later I am 316. And I don't feel like stopping, also I haven't had junk food since 6 months ago. It's hard, but worth it
Diego B-M good Job! A little late but I weighed at 170 at 12(which I didn't like at all!!!!) My mom and I agreed to put me into a basketball club and after many suicides, push-ups, sweat, tears.... I weighed at a rocking 146 pounds at 13. It was only 5 months but what really helped me wasn't stopping on food, but pushing through the pain. Trust me, after running and practicing for 1-2 hours every 2 days my muscles were soo sore. But now I feel really good about my self, and I encourage my best friend and I mentor him through his transformation!
I really hope this works for you. My wife has friends who have had this surgery and still over ate to the point that they busted the staples. The surgery shrinks your stomach to make you feel full but it won't stop you from compulsive eating. I really hope it helps tho. Good luck boogie
The vertical band (stomach stapling) had a very high rate of failure. Not sure how many doctors still do that procedures. In fact, I know several doctors who specialize in revisions, changing the stomach stapling to something else like the gastric bypass. (boogies procedure)
I watch your videos on and off, but on 5/24/2018 I will make sure to come back and view the results from the year, (10 months after the surgery), that have happened. Good luck and thank you for your videos!
good for you man! my mom had the full bypass several years ago and she started losing a bunch within a year so it does work. The only notable things I recall about the surgery was she had a couple of problems with acid reflux, vitamin absorption and she had to stay on top of her iron consumption. Best of luck and cant wait to see the before and after vid in a year.
Boogie, I am one of those people that you referred to as checking back every so often. Words cannot describe how proud I am of you and also your fan base. I came down to the comments to see wat it was like. I expected a few people here and there to be assholes and hate on you and I was absolutely elated to see nothing but support! EVERYONE here has a big heart and are so excited to see you succeed, and so am I! Gastric bypass works and I'm so excited to see it work for you! Good luck friendo!
As a longtime subscriber, I just wanted to say that I was overjoyed to hear your good news. Although I only know about the struggles that you have endured through the videos that you release, I am glad to know that you have finally risen above your problems. When you were smiling as you discussed your upcoming surgery, I found myself smiling with you. All of your fans are in full support of you, and we are glad that you are happy. Thank you for everything that you do for all of your fans, and I would like to wish you the very best of wishes to your family. I hope that everything goes well with the surgery and I hope that it helps you obtain your goal of being the person that you want to be.
boogie, I believe this is one of the first comments I've ever posted even though I've watched you for years. Mid July I will be at annual training for the Marine Corps Reserve, and I look forward to hearing all the positive news about u. I wish you luck, and I can't wait to see the even brighter future in store for you.
Happy for you Boogie. My sister had the same surgery and I didn't even know about it. I hadn't been home in over a year. So finally I'm home and a close friend of my family had passed away and I stopped in to the funeral home and a lot of people hadn't seen me in a long while and I walked right past my little sister and she cleared her through and said Really...You just walk right past me! The shock on my face must have been pretty awesome and I was so excited to see her that I wasn't embarrassed at all. She had lost 250lbs and now wiegh in at 135lbs at 5'6...You can do it man...You Can Do It!!!
With so much false sincerity on youtube it is so heart warming to have someone as grounded and grateful as you to the life he was given even if it was REALLY shitty at points. You sir made my day today and everytime I watch you and for that Im very grateful. Thankyou!
Never stop telling your story Boogie, you're saving someone else's life. Your progress is giving hope to others who are in the same boat. Your living and fighting for your life is a sparking hope for others. Thank you
boogie2988 I'm glad you're doing okay Boogie! I've been watching you for years and you've been a huge inspiration and have really helped out at times. Just keep being awesome! And never give up!
Slyceth Everyone has different reasons. Btw...you watchee the enture video right?? He explained it. He said he would eat bc it was the only thing that brought him comfort in his earlier years as a teen and young adult. When he was suicidal, food kept him okay for another few hours. But with this, there was an eating disorder that developed, causing him to eat to much too often...and leading him to be in a worse situation like in 2010.
So excited for you Boogie to have surgery. I'm sure you have many offers, but if you ever want to talk to someone who just had gastric bypass (April 26th, 2017) let me know and I can give you pointers, tips, and what to expect that the Dr's won't tell you. This has been a long time coming and couldn't be happier for you and your wife.
Bro I love you and this is inspirational to those who face the same battle. I'm currently making some life changes myself. Exercising daily, watching what I eat blah blah blah. But something you said concerns me, you said you're too big to exercise. You're never too big to do any sort of physical activity. I'm not trying to sound rude but you could just sit there on the couch and flail around like a magikarp for like 30 minutes a day and burn calories off. Remember bro, it's all in your head, you can do it! It doesn't just stop with the surgery, it's a lifestyle change. I look forward to seeing you improve and I sincerely wish you the best Boogie!
im so happy for you boogie, im a very new subscriber but watched your videos very regularly lately. i had that same surgery and even thought i didnt have as much overweight as i did it has completely changed my life. it's been 5 years of it and i still carry last 30 pounds i want to lose but i have never feel so good about my body ever before. i cant wait to see your progress and how you will be able to do even more things now. i was never a fan of working out but to be able to do it for the first time in the way i do now it is very exciting and i try to make that feeling present everytime im trying to find an excuse to not do it. best of luck to you!
Much love, Much respect! I've found you through your Francis videos, I believe the Diablo 3 one was my first, and I've kept up with you since. You have an amazing personality, and you're so much fun to watch! I'm so happy for you :) You deserve it! I hope it all works out for the best, and you can bet I'll be checking back to see how you're doing! You'll be in my thoughts during you're surgery! I look forward to seeing your health continue to improve! Keep it up man, you're an inspiration!
Boogie I just watch this whole video and was deep inside it and it just made me feel inspired.the part you say the mental issues that was cause from growing up with a family that wasn't always great just connected to me but if you put your mind to something and never give up your dream and your wish will come true you gotta work hard for what you want in life and when I made my channel the reason was I wanted to feel happy in life that I made something out of myself and I ain't giving up till my dream is reality and don't ever let people tell you ... you can I really hope you see this if not thanks for the inspiration
Boogie, I'm a little over a year from the surgery. Just take it one day at a time. I've over eaten since the surgery to the point I got sick, but my philosophy so far is to be better than I was yesterday. You're trying to tack the biggest thing in your life and that's always best to do one step at a time! Hang in there man! Best of luck.
I'm so damn happy to hear that a date has been set, and that things are going ahead, man! You're a lovely guy, and I always check up on videos relating to your health. I wish you all the best for the coming months, and may it lead to nothing but joy.
i look up to you. I admire the hell out of you. I look forward to your videos. I don't think you give yourself enough credit. you built this channel. you got the views. YOU did it. YOU!!!!! you built this from nothing and you keep growing. that is all YOU man. your wife is wonderful and I am certainly glad she makes you happy, but you let her in your heart. that was you. you you you. give yourself more credit. you deserve it.
Good luck bro. Just know that having a smaller stomach isn't going to help much. You're still going to have to cut your addictions. I'm rooting for ya brother
Boogie I love your work man thank you for making me feel ok with my body and actually motivating me to work out and feel better with myself as a person. I love how you're so confident and outgoing on the camera even if you are the way you are and I'm honestly so happy that life has got better and better for you, peace and love man. Thank you.
I'm so happy for you Boogie! I really hope the best for you, you're such an inspiration to so many people I really hope you get the great result you deserve.
Hey Boogie, i understand where you're at man. I am overweight as well, and i over-eat to cope with my emotions. I'm not morbidly obese, but i am overweight. food is a release, not a good one, but it helps for 5 minutes. It takes a lot of strength to let go of a crutch, it takes you prepping your mind and facing things for the first time. Trust me Boogie, you aren't alone, you're no the first or the last and i know you can get through this. You need to believe in you and let go of the past. I may only be a simple viewer and a subscriber, but i am hee fif you want to talk to anyone, i am open and willing to understand bro, you can get through this hard time, just stick at it.
I've been watching you for the last 3 years and I think you are very brave to share so openly your life. I'm happy to hear you are on the upside with your health situation. All the best Chris Haigh Music.
My father went through the same operation and his life has turned around for him he was sad and wanted to end it all he went through the operation and is now happier than he ever was. I hope the same for you!
I once saw an article with you and you wife posted with a title "How did this 500 lb man get a kind of wife like this?" It's because you are an incredible person bud. Love ya and keep fighting the good fight!
I had surgery too. I'm about 16 months out. I had the sleeve, not bypass though. Best of luck. I'm excited to watch your journey. It's a great one! My life is so much better, and it literally saved me. It is such a mental journey. Get your head on now, and you'll do fine!
I love how genuinely happy he looks and how proud he is. I'm happy for you Boogie for putting yourself on the right track to getting healthy and helping your wife see what you can be. Good luck with your surgery! I know you will do just fine!
Boogie I'm proud of you really I am, my dad has that same surgery and he looks really well, he weighed 310 pounds and now he weighs less than I do and I weigh 160 but before that he had diabetes,low blood pressure and the doctor said he won't survive next year but at that time I was like 13 so he got the surgery and we were all scared I was the most (I think) even before that he smoked a lot he ate a lot he couldn't tie his shoes I had to tie it for him he couldn't do that much and NOW he is WAY MORE ACTIVE THAN EVER and I'm happy for that.hope ur surgery goes as well as my dad 😄😄😄
Love conquer's all boogie you'll reach your goal i believe in you and i think WE all believe in you. we love you boogie wish you the best of luck in all to come.
Good luck to you! I'm 2 1/2 years post op Gastric Bypass Surgery. I was close to 500lbs. I'm currently 210lbs. It's not easy, but it's a tool if used right will work! My life has changed drastically, and is still changing. It's nice to walk into a room and nobody notices me. HaHaHaHa😜 I even fit in restaurant booths. No more tables. I'm excited to see your journey. My life's theme was, I lived (loved) to eat. Now I just eat to live.
One of the kindest men on UA-cam. Good luck to you in July, you absolutely deserve it for all your hard work and the pain you've had to endure. You deserve your break
I'll admit, I don't know you much. I subscribed to you after discovering your channel through the Video Game Award you won. By the way, late congratulations on that! But at the moment, I'd like to tell you that I see something very powerful in you. I look at you in this video and see someone who's ready and happy to make the changes that are coming up for you. Maybe you could still have some prep to do, there's always things we can do to pteoare for change. But I think you can do this. Good luck with the bypass surgery, I hope your health stays in favour for it, and I hope that if and when it goes through, you'll be ready to do everything necessary to change and to win. Good luck, man. I'll be rooting for you
A year ago I was 600 pounds. I had to get below 500 before they would do the surgery. My last weigh in was 350 and I am on my way to 300, Its not an easy road Buggy but you can do this if you have the drive. You have my support dude. If you have any questions feel free to hit me up man. I am pulling for you brother.
Hope this works out for you Boogie. You deserve it! Stick with the doctors orders through blood, sweat and tears and you'll start seeing changes instantly, It'll only get easier!! I hope my comment doesn't sound condescending, i don't care what you look like, i care for your health and hope to be still watching 5 years from now. I wish you the best in July and i'm sure the operation will be a success!
I'm 6'3, and when i was 18 i weighed 245 lbs. I am now 20, and weigh 175 lbs. I started eating clean, and got back into jiu jitsu, and muay thai kickboxing.
Oooohhhh i trained muay thai one time. it's kinda hard and tiring task..and i also train karate and jiu jitsu...and yes it's a brazillian fighting style.
The progress has already been made "in your head", as you like to put it. Trust in that, believe in yourself as you've been doing for quite a while now, enjoy the rewards that are coming your way and be proud of yourself like most people knowing your story are. Congrats!
I actually clapped like a crazy little seal when I heard the words "IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY". I had to stop the video and calm myself down because of the euphoria :D I am so happy for you, Boogie!! Good luck and best wishes from Czech Republic! :)))
My mom had gastric bypass. She went from ~350 to now ~140. According to her it was the best decision she's ever made and I couldn't be happier for her. She is absolutely beautiful and she has told me so many times how much better she feels how. Boogie I think you're making a really smart decision for you and I wish you the best of luck and we all will be here for you along your journey.
Congratulations Boogie, I had the Gastric Bypass Surgery In Jan of this year, I'm now down a total of 200 lbs (started at 582 in April of 2016, now at 382). It saved my life, i'm grateful every day for the new lease on life. I'll be praying and wishing you and your family nothing but the best my friend. Good luck on this journey.

You do what you need to do Boogie. Your health comes first, and we support you all the way.
Amen
Well said

Efrain salas i like your breaking bad walter profile pic. im a big fan of breaking bad :)

I look to you for my own courage to continue with my own fitness. I was able to lose 10 more LBS this month, and I hope you too continue! Don't ever give up.
ProtoMario Good job. Continue it will only help you in the long run to be healthier.
Uh that's not healthy bud. Average you should lose 1.5 lbs a week, but nevertheless good job
"BUT PROTO!"
Keep up the good work proto and boogie will be here to always help u
Good job Proto!
I hope gastric bypass works for you, Boogie. It is a powerful tool that has helped many people; it has also been abused by, and been a disappointment to many. Use this tool knowing it is a weapon to fight the demon in your head; do not abuse this tool, it can hurt you badly. I love you, Boogie, fight the good fight; you of great value to many; a victory here would inspire many.
Jerry Braunling amen
the light in your eyes when you made the announcement made me smile, good luck big guy (not for much longer :D) we're all rooting for you!

funkyfish1026 type 1 or type 2???
Thanks man, yeah even if day to day doesn't work you have to learn to take it minute by minute. They key is learning to see and avoid your triggers.
Oddly enough kinda in the middle, while my pancreas does produce insulin its a very small amount. I was just diagnosed late last year. Currently they have me on 2k MG of metformin a day 2 500 mil tabs in the am and in the pm and then a single use of long acting insulin in the evening. Altho my endocrinologist thinks that I may need to take a short acting insulin after I eat each meal...
Uppers and drinking, although my best friend was into downers and we would mix and match just a little too much.
I started at 523 im super close to 300..... You are going to rock the hell out of this... Im super proud of you and super happy that you are getting help!! WE ALL DESERVE TO LIVE!

Fuck yeah!!
Great news. Happy for you! All the best.
What a badass thing to say.
Voodoo you're right! You've done some amazing things Boogie. So happy for you.
Love ya Boogie, we all do.
Steve, you gotta do it this time man. All these years have been leading up to this one last final time. I have a good feeling about this reset. Not only is it crucial to your health NOT to fuck your diet up after surgery (seriously, some harsh affects on that stomach post op) but if you stick with this almost perfectly, I know you'll lose close to 200 pounds in a year. Unless you're hormones are really outta wack, but you'll go from there haha.
Best of luck buddy..you're gonna be a legend in the next few years if you do this right!
Bryan Wadleigh most real comment here
Good luck to you. I used to be 220 pounds so it's not comfortable, eventually I started doing keto and taking forskolin and it changed my life. Now i'm 120. Just keep on :)
wow really

Yes, it works really well it's an herb from india.

why i watch boogie, its not scripted its from the heart
So happy for you! As a nurse, I've cared for many patients after this surgery. I've seen it change lives in miraculous ways, and I've seen some fail. You've had some awesome things come your way that have changed your life for the better. This surgery is another wonderful opportunity. If you go in committed to succeed, Boogie, succeed you will. We'll all be pulling for you all the way.
Hey Boogie :) This is my first ever comment to you. I just wanted to wish you luck, you've clearly faced a LOT of battles in your life, I'm rooting for you :D
Words cannot describe how happy I am for you. I've been following your channel for the better part of 7 years now. I came for Francis, but I stayed for you; the real you. You're such an amazing human being with love and good intent in your heart. I have the utmost respect for you and wish you the best in anything you do. I've never seen you smile harder than in this video. You deserve the world, and now, you're getting it. Love ya, Boogie. Keep it up.
Boogie should pin this comment
Agreed
Good for you Boogie!!! Best of luck to you. My Gastric Sleeve surgery is June 6. We're in this together!
Stefan Griffin good luck! I had the sleeve 1 year and 4 months ago. It's an amazing and wonderful transformation if you put I the work.
bigd7481 Thank you :). I'm nervous about the surgery itself, but I can't wait for this new lifestyle. And congrats on your success!
Sending you positive thoughts and wishes Stefan!
Stefan Griffin good luck 👍
Good luck guys 😉
Congrats Boogie! Glad to see are making progress towards your goal. I'm aware of what you will be up against and it will be tough, but you have people in your life who love you and will keep up the hope the strength for you when you falter. When I approached some of the major crossroads I encountered, I used to approach it as a beginning of something new and the stress of tackling something like that made it tough. I too thought that when lung cancer finally took over my body I would finally be relieved of the bullshit I was facing. What helped me was thinking it was NOT the Beginning of one thing, but the death and freedom of another. I was finally going to put the last nail in this version of myself and be free of his shit. As I say farewell to the Old Boogie, I look forward to see the new Boogie rise from the ashes! Love ya buddy, seeya on the other side.
Boogie, I've watched you over the years off and on and always wondered about this. Im 28, 6'3 and weigh 430lbs. I can identify with you pretty closely. I just started my 6month doctor supervised diet (hoop to go through for insurance to cover the surgery) 2 days ago. I will be having the same surgery sometime in December or January. I hope to follow your journey as I am on mine. Best of luck to you and congratulations.
mark that is highly inaccurate. I would suggest not giving people advice when you don't fully understand the subject. you are right that it shouldn't be considered for anything but a last resort. but the rest of the stomach remains alive and well, still producing the liquids and enzymes it did before that mix with the digested food in the new stomach further down the intestines. it does not rot, and is still important.
I as 430 at the beginning of the year. I'm 350 now. I'm 5'11" and am a compulsive/boredom eater. I just load up on lettuce and spinach and compulsively eat that with some sort of protein source.
Chris Hoffman good luck. hope you succeed
Hey Chris, you got an update for us?
Changing your lifestyle is so hard. Much respect man. Sometimes no less than a live-in life coach is required to make the change.
TheBaesment
That's called his wife. Lol
mephInc Maybe. Personally, I wouldn't want to put that burden on my wife.
TheBaesment u stupid boi
Jayden Mann lol thanks pal
Steven, I have watched you since the very begging through multiple account,i watch your videos everyday rolling cigs,and watching it like it was TV. Your like my older brother. I can honestly say i have never disliked any of your videos. Today when this played you had me happy crying for the first time in years(balling),I couldn't be more happy and I do understand, I'm in the same boat only on the opposite spectrum,too skinny(love for you to talk about that)I'm so happy and worried,please tell me if something would ever happen you have a farewell video for us. I love you very much and I can't wait to see the next video. Please bump this guys so I know he see's this. :)
The GameEnderShow hope you kick your cig addiction bro
i'm really working on it went from 2 and a half packs to one a day
I almost teared up when you said you were getting the surgery in July. I'm so happy for you boogs. I've watched you for so long now, I can't believe it's finally happening. I can't wait to see how much happier this is going to make you. My heart goes out to you. Congratulations boogs, love you man.
teared up for someone who wants to cheat and take the easy route. smh
Jared Aycock stfu learn some fucking respect
Jared Aycock jerk. boogie is trying to do the best he can
Jared Aycock Are you an idiot? Did you not watch one second of the goddamn video? Get a brain, Mr. AyCOCK.
+Jared Aycock, You realize it's harder on you to go this route right? Not to mention the possibility of death.
You have been an inspiration to me boogie.
I was 344 2 months ago and started a diet and started working out everyday. And 2 months later I am 316. And I don't feel like stopping, also I haven't had junk food since 6 months ago. It's hard, but worth it
Diego B-M good Job! A little late but I weighed at 170 at 12(which I didn't like at all!!!!) My mom and I agreed to put me into a basketball club and after many suicides, push-ups, sweat, tears....
I weighed at a rocking 146 pounds at 13. It was only 5 months but what really helped me wasn't stopping on food, but pushing through the pain. Trust me, after running and practicing for 1-2 hours every 2 days my muscles were soo sore. But now I feel really good about my self, and I encourage my best friend and I mentor him through his transformation!
I really hope this works for you. My wife has friends who have had this surgery and still over ate to the point that they busted the staples. The surgery shrinks your stomach to make you feel full but it won't stop you from compulsive eating. I really hope it helps tho. Good luck boogie
The vertical band (stomach stapling) had a very high rate of failure. Not sure how many doctors still do that procedures. In fact, I know several doctors who specialize in revisions, changing the stomach stapling to something else like the gastric bypass. (boogies procedure)
I watch your videos on and off, but on 5/24/2018 I will make sure to come back and view the results from the year, (10 months after the surgery), that have happened. Good luck and thank you for your videos!
good for you man! my mom had the full bypass several years ago and she started losing a bunch within a year so it does work. The only notable things I recall about the surgery was she had a couple of problems with acid reflux, vitamin absorption and she had to stay on top of her iron consumption. Best of luck and cant wait to see the before and after vid in a year.
Boogie, I am one of those people that you referred to as checking back every so often. Words cannot describe how proud I am of you and also your fan base. I came down to the comments to see wat it was like. I expected a few people here and there to be assholes and hate on you and I was absolutely elated to see nothing but support! EVERYONE here has a big heart and are so excited to see you succeed, and so am I! Gastric bypass works and I'm so excited to see it work for you! Good luck friendo!
As a longtime subscriber, I just wanted to say that I was overjoyed to hear your good news. Although I only know about the struggles that you have endured through the videos that you release, I am glad to know that you have finally risen above your problems. When you were smiling as you discussed your upcoming surgery, I found myself smiling with you. All of your fans are in full support of you, and we are glad that you are happy. Thank you for everything that you do for all of your fans, and I would like to wish you the very best of wishes to your family. I hope that everything goes well with the surgery and I hope that it helps you obtain your goal of being the person that you want to be.
Boogie seems like the best kind of friend, the kind everyone wants to have.
fuck yeah buddy
GAMING NOW I wish I could know him
GAMING NOW thats true i love having friends that care and stay by your side through thick and thin
jeffery police chase pike I see what you did there, jk I agree with your message.
he is. you are so right. boogie is so motivating, inspiring, and an amazing person in general
boogie, I believe this is one of the first comments I've ever posted even though I've watched you for years. Mid July I will be at annual training for the Marine Corps Reserve, and I look forward to hearing all the positive news about u. I wish you luck, and I can't wait to see the even brighter future in store for you.
Mad Max Semper Fi little brother. 👊
Happy for you Boogie. My sister had the same surgery and I didn't even know about it. I hadn't been home in over a year. So finally I'm home and a close friend of my family had passed away and I stopped in to the funeral home and a lot of people hadn't seen me in a long while and I walked right past my little sister and she cleared her through and said Really...You just walk right past me! The shock on my face must have been pretty awesome and I was so excited to see her that I wasn't embarrassed at all. She had lost 250lbs and now wiegh in at 135lbs at 5'6...You can do it man...You Can Do It!!!
With so much false sincerity on youtube it is so heart warming to have someone as grounded and grateful as you to the life he was given even if it was REALLY shitty at points. You sir made my day today and everytime I watch you and for that Im very grateful. Thankyou!
Never stop telling your story Boogie, you're saving someone else's life. Your progress is giving hope to others who are in the same boat. Your living and fighting for your life is a sparking hope for others. Thank you
+thewb39 thank you for the kind words :)
You're more than welcome. Keep up the good fight.
boogie2988 I'm glad you're doing okay Boogie! I've been watching you for years and you've been a huge inspiration and have really helped out at times. Just keep being awesome! And never give up!
thewb39 Very well stated.
Slyceth Everyone has different reasons. Btw...you watchee the enture video right?? He explained it. He said he would eat bc it was the only thing that brought him comfort in his earlier years as a teen and young adult. When he was suicidal, food kept him okay for another few hours. But with this, there was an eating disorder that developed, causing him to eat to much too often...and leading him to be in a worse situation like in 2010.
So excited for you Boogie to have surgery. I'm sure you have many offers, but if you ever want to talk to someone who just had gastric bypass (April 26th, 2017) let me know and I can give you pointers, tips, and what to expect that the Dr's won't tell you. This has been a long time coming and couldn't be happier for you and your wife.
Bro I love you and this is inspirational to those who face the same battle. I'm currently making some life changes myself. Exercising daily, watching what I eat blah blah blah. But something you said concerns me, you said you're too big to exercise. You're never too big to do any sort of physical activity. I'm not trying to sound rude but you could just sit there on the couch and flail around like a magikarp for like 30 minutes a day and burn calories off. Remember bro, it's all in your head, you can do it! It doesn't just stop with the surgery, it's a lifestyle change. I look forward to seeing you improve and I sincerely wish you the best Boogie!
your one of the most honest, funniest and nicest you tuber ever and hope this works out for you! we will always be with you when you need us!
Majed Obaidan true
I have the same profile pic lol
Been watching for 7 years, I'm happy for you man. You deserve it. r
You can do it, Boogie. No doubt. You are the man. With all you've done so far, there's really not much you can't do.
im so happy for you boogie, im a very new subscriber but watched your videos very regularly lately. i had that same surgery and even thought i didnt have as much overweight as i did it has completely changed my life. it's been 5 years of it and i still carry last 30 pounds i want to lose but i have never feel so good about my body ever before. i cant wait to see your progress and how you will be able to do even more things now. i was never a fan of working out but to be able to do it for the first time in the way i do now it is very exciting and i try to make that feeling present everytime im trying to find an excuse to not do it. best of luck to you!
boogie coming from me and all of us we love you boogie and we are so happy for you
we love you boogie
It takes a lot of balls to admit you aren't to be trusted w food. I love you Steve, you got this. I believe, everyone here believes
Daaammmnn if his real name is Steve that'd be interesting
Daaammmnn His name is Steve
steven jay williams is his name
Team Boogie
Good luck Boogie!💪
Bball Bob this comment is MINE
Much love, Much respect! I've found you through your Francis videos, I believe the Diablo 3 one was my first, and I've kept up with you since. You have an amazing personality, and you're so much fun to watch! I'm so happy for you :) You deserve it! I hope it all works out for the best, and you can bet I'll be checking back to see how you're doing! You'll be in my thoughts during you're surgery! I look forward to seeing your health continue to improve! Keep it up man, you're an inspiration!
I just tossed my last McNugget out the window for you boogie
joevsyou I caught that nugget dude, any sauce up in there ? 🙋
I got some Szechuan sauce. Im a time traveler by the way
mikaelhs you are more then welcome to search I-75 and find it, slap a stamp on it and ship it, no box needed
joevsyou so that's where that mcnugget came from it was delicious
jamie darren awe nope but I sure someone can hook you up
Boogie I just watch this whole video and was deep inside it and it just made me feel inspired.the part you say the mental issues that was cause from growing up with a family that wasn't always great just connected to me but if you put your mind to something and never give up your dream and your wish will come true you gotta work hard for what you want in life and when I made my channel the reason was I wanted to feel happy in life that I made something out of myself and I ain't giving up till my dream is reality and don't ever let people tell you ... you can I really hope you see this if not thanks for the inspiration
good for you Boogie, wishing you nothing but health and success.
BCSTARZTHELIMIT reported for harassment and bullying
Nah
I'm A Dickhair why would you report my comment?
BCSTARZTHELIMIT bruh have you pressed read more...
I'm A Dickhair the "nah" part? I'm confused bro?
BCSTARZTHELIMIT He meant nah as in he was joking, I think.
Boogie, I'm a little over a year from the surgery. Just take it one day at a time. I've over eaten since the surgery to the point I got sick, but my philosophy so far is to be better than I was yesterday. You're trying to tack the biggest thing in your life and that's always best to do one step at a time! Hang in there man! Best of luck.
8:23 I legitimately cried. I'm so happy for you!
I'm so damn happy to hear that a date has been set, and that things are going ahead, man!
You're a lovely guy, and I always check up on videos relating to your health. I wish you all the best for the coming months, and may it lead to nothing but joy.
i look up to you. I admire the hell out of you. I look forward to your videos. I don't think you give yourself enough credit. you built this channel. you got the views. YOU did it. YOU!!!!! you built this from nothing and you keep growing. that is all YOU man. your wife is wonderful and I am certainly glad she makes you happy, but you let her in your heart. that was you. you you you. give yourself more credit. you deserve it.
Good luck bro. Just know that having a smaller stomach isn't going to help much. You're still going to have to cut your addictions. I'm rooting for ya brother
Boogie I love your work man thank you for making me feel ok with my body and actually motivating me to work out and feel better with myself as a person. I love how you're so confident and outgoing on the camera even if you are the way you are and I'm honestly so happy that life has got better and better for you, peace and love man. Thank you.
Congratulations Boogie! My dad just got this surgery and it was very safe! Can't wait to see the new you!
Good for your dad, and hope the same goes for boogie
I'm so happy for you Boogie! I really hope the best for you, you're such an inspiration to so many people I really hope you get the great result you deserve.
yea
Hey Boogie, i understand where you're at man. I am overweight as well, and i over-eat to cope with my emotions. I'm not morbidly obese, but i am overweight. food is a release, not a good one, but it helps for 5 minutes. It takes a lot of strength to let go of a crutch, it takes you prepping your mind and facing things for the first time. Trust me Boogie, you aren't alone, you're no the first or the last and i know you can get through this. You need to believe in you and let go of the past. I may only be a simple viewer and a subscriber, but i am hee fif you want to talk to anyone, i am open and willing to understand bro, you can get through this hard time, just stick at it.
We love you boogie, keep on the right path man. We are all here to support you.
boogie i love you man i have lost 50kg now and 20kg to go. i just hope everything goes well for you :3
Cheering you on and cheering boogie on! I hope you both reach your goals.
Thaanks :)
I've been watching you for the last 3 years and I think you are very brave to share so openly your life. I'm happy to hear you are on the upside with your health situation. All the best Chris Haigh Music.
My father went through the same operation and his life has turned around for him he was sad and wanted to end it all he went through the operation and is now happier than he ever was. I hope the same for you!
I once saw an article with you and you wife posted with a title "How did this 500 lb man get a kind of wife like this?" It's because you are an incredible person bud. Love ya and keep fighting the good fight!
Mordakeye iii
I use to wight 400 and now am down to 320 thanks to you and martial arts and am keep going

I had surgery too. I'm about 16 months out. I had the sleeve, not bypass though. Best of luck. I'm excited to watch your journey. It's a great one! My life is so much better, and it literally saved me. It is such a mental journey. Get your head on now, and you'll do fine!
wow youtube why would you put an ad that asked me if I had diabetes type 2...because im watching this video?
I'm heavily looking forward to you're first video post surgery.
heavily
*hehhehheheheehehhheeehhe*
I love how genuinely happy he looks and how proud he is. I'm happy for you Boogie for putting yourself on the right track to getting healthy and helping your wife see what you can be. Good luck with your surgery! I know you will do just fine!
Boogie I'm proud of you really I am, my dad has that same surgery and he looks really well, he weighed 310 pounds and now he weighs less than I do and I weigh 160 but before that he had diabetes,low blood pressure and the doctor said he won't survive next year but at that time I was like 13 so he got the surgery and we were all scared I was the most (I think) even before that he smoked a lot he ate a lot he couldn't tie his shoes I had to tie it for him he couldn't do that much and NOW he is WAY MORE ACTIVE THAN EVER and I'm happy for that.hope ur surgery goes as well as my dad 😄😄😄
I cant wait to follow the rest of this story as you go through this Boogie. Just keep moving Forward!!!! You got this!!!
Love conquer's all boogie you'll reach your goal i believe in you and i think WE all believe in you. we love you boogie wish you the best of luck in all to come.
You're very inspiring. Hope everything goes well

SupaPixelGirl hell yeah boogie, keep the ball rolling! Great news! this is like a new beginning. (cheesy but true)
SupaPixelGirl 💪
Good luck to you! I'm 2 1/2 years post op Gastric Bypass Surgery. I was close to 500lbs. I'm currently 210lbs. It's not easy, but it's a tool if used right will work! My life has changed drastically, and is still changing. It's nice to walk into a room and nobody notices me. HaHaHaHa😜 I even fit in restaurant booths. No more tables. I'm excited to see your journey. My life's theme was, I lived (loved) to eat. Now I just eat to live.
I'm very happy for you, Boogie! Good luck in the future.
you actually make every day of mine happy with your positivity , thank you so much!
I hope you achieve everything that you want to !❤
Well done! We've been with you all the way and will carry on supporting you. Good luck and work hard!

PassionaParty egg
One of the kindest men on UA-cam. Good luck to you in July, you absolutely deserve it for all your hard work and the pain you've had to endure. You deserve your break
OMFG! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU! CONGRATS!
when you talked about the doctor accepting you and smiling a tear nearly came out
Hold that line, brother! We'll stand with you. Be happy, be safe, be well. Happy to have you for multiple decades more!
I'll admit, I don't know you much. I subscribed to you after discovering your channel through the Video Game Award you won. By the way, late congratulations on that! But at the moment, I'd like to tell you that I see something very powerful in you. I look at you in this video and see someone who's ready and happy to make the changes that are coming up for you. Maybe you could still have some prep to do, there's always things we can do to pteoare for change. But I think you can do this. Good luck with the bypass surgery, I hope your health stays in favour for it, and I hope that if and when it goes through, you'll be ready to do everything necessary to change and to win. Good luck, man. I'll be rooting for you
Awesome news, Boogie. Just remember this is a life style change, not just a temporary change. Please stick with it after the surgery!
Where is the yellow key blade?
Jerry Zuniga this is the real problem.
This is one of those historical youtube videos boys!
A year ago I was 600 pounds. I had to get below 500 before they would do the surgery. My last weigh in was 350 and I am on my way to 300, Its not an easy road Buggy but you can do this if you have the drive. You have my support dude. If you have any questions feel free to hit me up man. I am pulling for you brother.
I'm happy for you man, and wish you luck on the surgery. I know you can make it
Hope this works out for you Boogie. You deserve it! Stick with the doctors orders through blood, sweat and tears and you'll start seeing changes instantly, It'll only get easier!! I hope my comment doesn't sound condescending, i don't care what you look like, i care for your health and hope to be still watching 5 years from now. I wish you the best in July and i'm sure the operation will be a success!
best of luck boogie every one of us supports you👊👍
I'm 6'3, and when i was 18 i weighed 245 lbs. I am now 20, and weigh 175 lbs. I started eating clean, and got back into jiu jitsu, and muay thai kickboxing.
Adam G good job mane
Nian watch MMA. lmao. It's a very popular fighting style (Brazilian I believe). Anyone good at it could kick your ass.
Caleb Fowler it's Thai
RandomChanceZ I was a size 38 waist and was chunky. I hated the way I looked. I'm down to a size 32 and feel amazing
Oooohhhh i trained muay thai one time. it's kinda hard and tiring task..and i also train karate and jiu jitsu...and yes it's a brazillian fighting style.
Congrats Boogie, super happy. On every video I will comment 'Put in the Work!' so you remember to keep pushing.
#PutInTheWork
The progress has already been made "in your head", as you like to put it. Trust in that, believe in yourself as you've been doing for quite a while now, enjoy the rewards that are coming your way and be proud of yourself like most people knowing your story are. Congrats!
I actually clapped like a crazy little seal when I heard the words "IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY". I had to stop the video and calm myself down because of the euphoria :D
I am so happy for you, Boogie!! Good luck and best wishes from Czech Republic! :)))
I thought he was going to say "... in 2018." Congrats Boogie!
the image I have in my mind of you clapping like an overexcited crazy seal suggests you need psychiatric help. or maybe I do I dunno.
Maybe we both do.... but ssshh. If they find us, they will put us in an asylum. And I can't go there. They don't have seal pools in asylums... :(
My mom had gastric bypass. She went from ~350 to now ~140. According to her it was the best decision she's ever made and I couldn't be happier for her. She is absolutely beautiful and she has told me so many times how much better she feels how. Boogie I think you're making a really smart decision for you and I wish you the best of luck and we all will be here for you along your journey.
