A Blessing (10/23/2013)

All the staff was very friendly and helpful. The facility although small was immaculate and well-r... * read more.
160 LBS Ago (10/23/2013)
When I came to weight loss agents, I was already dead so to speak (468 lbs & 5ft. 9in tall) I could only walk like 10 to 12 steps before I had to stop.

So far I have lost 60 pounds. I feel much better, but my hair is much thinner than it used to be. I am taking vitamins to remedy this situation.

What a Life Changing Experience! (10/17/2013)
I was quiet nervous when I began this life changing journey. A friend convinced me to move forward with my decision to have surgery.
