I have not, but have had a few acquaintances that have and they are doing really well. May God be with you on your journey to better health and I pray you heal quickly.
My brother had it - lost 70 pounds - over next 3 years gained 30 back.
Thank you very much. I’ve got every co-morbidity that accompanies obesity, diabetes, HBP, Coronary Artery Disease, Peripheral Artery Disease, Kidney Disease in my only remaining kidney due to Kidney cancer, and more. I’ve got a lot riding on this. Just getting a little cold feet I guess.
PLEASE! I implore you...before taking this drastic step...read a little known book by a man Roger Troy Wilson called Let’s Do Lunch. It was nine months ago that I found this book searching the internet for anything about insulin resistance, which my doctor had diagnosed me having. This man has lived the life of morbid obesity...and his story can be read here.. http://www.letsdolunch.com/ I have lost 50 lbs effortlessly...and the most important part is that I’m NEVER hungry! I had been overweight my entire adult life and had tried everything from WW to Atkins...but have never felt “well”. At my last doctors visit all my blood tests were great! I was taken off of BP meds also...and I feel wonderful for the first time in years. I have a sister-in-law that had the surgical procedure done several years ago, and she has persistent bouts with anemia. I have recommended this book to several people who have tried Wilson’s suggested way of eating, and have lost weight. I have no weight loss goal...and it constantly amazes me how baggy my clothes are getting as I move into a smaller size...and I have no doubt I will maintain the weight loss because I love the foods so much...and I feel so well!!
