Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 Hi, I am from Chicago and I had surgury on june 26 and I lost 68 pds and I have asthma and a few other things. This surgury is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I would recomend it to anyone. It is a 35 minute procedure and 1 day in the hospital. I am a male and it did not effect my child bearing ( joke ) but it did cure my high blood pressure and sleep apnea I also have astma and it has never been better . Come to the seminar at the Ritz carlton downtown chicago on the 28th of september and ask the Dr. personally what is on your mind. He will answer all your ?s. I was 310 pds and still losing and feel fine. Pete from Chicago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
