I have been a fire fighter with the Indianapolis Fire Department for 27 years. Before my surgery I had to work out everyday and watch everything I ate to maintain the departments strict physical standards. Since my surgery I don't have to work to pass their standards, I eat what I want, I look great and I feel great.

The only regret I have about the surgery is that I didn't have it done sooner in my life!
