Inches loss - 35 1/2 (keep in mind I am a seamstress so I measure alot

Meds before surgery: 3 BP meds, 3 diabetes oral meds, 1

antidepressant, 1 allergy, and alot of ibuprofen for joint pain (BP

and diabetes barely controlled by meds). Also had alot of headaches

and bladder problems.

Meds after surgery: vitamins, suppliments, actigal........(BP and

blood sugars are perfect, no depression, no allergy symptoms, and my

joints are moving without pain!) No headaches since surgery and no

bladder problems.

Surgery was a breeze (insurance battle was worse)

Recovery - (Dr. R. did you really do anything?)

Eating - only when I have too!!! I just added soft stuff and will

be eating Turkey at Thanksgiving! Have only encountered 3

things that I cannot tolerate - sweet oatmeal, Yoplait

yogurt, creamy soups. Would kill for a salad right

now!!!

Pain or problems - none (unless you count starting my periods

again after 1 1/2 years without one)

Would I do this again? - You Bet !!!!! Wish I had found out about it

sooner!

My opinions about Dr. R - mear words cannot describe my joy, my

admiration, and my heart felt graditude to the person (with God's help

of course) who has given me my life back and made it better!!!!!

The best is yet to come!!! Big Red is a thing of the past! Glo has

emerged! Watch out world Glo has entered the building!!!
