Obese Couple has Gastric Bypass Surgery Together

They're happy newlyweds that once looked like different people.

Dawn Marie holds up an old pair of jeans. "These are a size 30, and now I'm a size 8!" Her now-husband, Frankie does the same, telling INSIDE EDITION, "These are a size 78, and now I'm a size 36."

Dawn Marie and Frankie Hveen can now share a pair of his old jeans! His old shirts look like bed sheets, and his belt, amazingly was almost seven feet-long.
About four years ago, the Long Island, New York couple vowed to go from obese to fit...together. He was a massive 550 lbs! She tipped the scales at 400! But Dawn Marie says, "I saw myself in a box, and I didn't want to die." They were inspired to lose weight after the death of Frankie's 27-year-old sister Margaret, who weighed as much as 700 lbs.

After undergoing gastric bypass surgery, they began a diet of healthy food and regular exercise.

The weight loss from before to after is dramatic. Combined, they've lost an amazing 550 pounds. Dawn Marie is now a trim 160, and Frankie's a shadow of his former self at 235!
