When I went for my surgery I concern with my high blood pressure, diabetes and constance pain in my lower back. I could not sleep soundly or walk up the stairs without breathing heavy. Well I went in for my surgery, and out of a group of six women I was the only one that did not get sick after the procedure. I did not experience any discomfort at all. I was walking around the hospital the same day. My doctor was not fluent in English, however he was wonderful and so was the hospital staff. The only discomfort that I did experienced was a bad case of heart burn on the way back home.

I've dropped 72 pounds thus far and my diabetes and high pressure is no longer a concern or problem, that's right my primary doctor has took me off all medication relating to those ailments. I have so much energy and appreciation for the weight lost. I can now cross my legs something I could not do before. I would cross my ankles. I sleep much better, no tossing and turning half the night searching for that comfortable position. My husband has told me not to drop anymore weight. although he seems quite happy with the new me. Thank you weight loss team. I would highly recommend the surgery to anyone who need to lose weight especially for medical reason that affects their over all health
