Winning the Battle Against Obesity
Mark Lykins is an upbeat and active man, so it was difficult for him to stop working as a salesman and coaching his children's sports teams. But Lykins felt he had no choice. His weight had spiraled out of control and was threatening his life.

The 49-year-old Sebastian resident says his weight was normal through his mid-30's. Despite trying a number of diet programs, he eventually tipped the scales at 433 pounds. He developed hyptertension, congestive heart failure and sleep apnea. Lykins turned to the experts at The Wellington Surgical Weight Reduction Center and underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass less than 3 months ago. Read about his amazing results.
