With the advancement of the medical world, several surgeries have been introduced that help people get over obesity by reducing extra weight from their bodies. However, there’s a catch to maintaining what has been acquired, and that is maintaining a healthy lifestyle and looking after yourself physically. Nate Gorby’s weight loss journey acts as proof of this fact.

The man underwent bariatric surgery last December when he had decided that he had done enough to get a change but was not really getting any significant results. Following the surgery, he achieved a remarkable weight loss of over 45 lbs in just 6 months, astonishing the doctors as well. It is worth noting that a significant portion of his success can be attributed to his own determination. In addition to his personal efforts, he also received external support that played a crucial role in his transformative journey.

The Rebirth of Nate Gorby

Nate Gorby recently took to Twitter and shared the story of his weight loss journey and how there was this one technical angel that helped him become what he is today. Gorby said, “For as long as I can remember, I have struggled with my weight. I was able to diet, and my weight would have the yo-yo effect as a result.” He suffered from obesity and despite giving in several attempts at reducing calorie intake, maintaining diets, and doing HIITs, nothing helped him out. It was then that he finally decided to go through surgery. Well, surgery is just the beginning of it. It is your additional efforts that make the process easier.

Nate Gorby said, “I wanted to say thank you for everything that you do with the Apple Watch and the Fitness+ service. It has changed so much for me and made me a healthier, happier person over the past several months.” Closing his rings on the Apple Watch and the constant fitness reminders from Fitness+ was what motivated him to stay on track and not give up. It was through Fitness+ that Gorby realized that he had a passion for the treadmill, walking, and HIIT. It also helped him with mindfulness and the app has been like a constant support for him.
