Jay Gilhaus has struggled with weight his entire life. He has been on high blood pressure medication since the age of 19. In December of 2009, now in his 40s, Jay confidentially discussed with a friend that he was considering gastric bi-pass surgery.

But then, in early 2010, an announcement of a healthé trim weight loss competition on the radio, changed his life! He was chosen to participate.

Ninety days later, he is 93 pounds lighter and taken off his blood pressure medication for the first time in 27 years.
