Why Not You, Too…a way of life and a liberating philosophy. Daniel Krischer has been asking audiences that question for many years. Once weighing 508 pounds in 2019, Dan went through proper medical consultation when he saw that the time was right for him to make a positive change in his life. He lost 100 pounds on his own through diet and exercise prior to surgery, and a little over 200 pounds after bariatric surgery. His total weight loss in 2 years after preparation and surgery was 310 pounds, while maintaining his current weight between 195 and 205 pounds.  

Dan knows the struggle to make the commitment to choose gastric sleeve surgery. He also knows the struggle to live the life of morbidities that could affect his existence, including high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and diabetes. A loving husband, father, and grandfather, his motivation was to be around for his next generation of family members, and to ensure that he would never have to go through another post-infection rehabilitation period. That was the jumping point to him making the change to choose bariatric surgery. 

A successful business owner, Dan participates in speaking engagements to people who want to make a positive change in their life but have fears and roadblocks stopping them. Dan provides positive motivation and speaks from experience to help them make the decision easier. His empathetic approach to motivating people towards bariatric surgery and discussing portion control and physical activity post-surgery is what drives his audiences to take the first steps on getting their life back, just as he did. 

In the end, it all boils down to one question – if it could work for Dan, then WHY NOT YOU TOO?
