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.

your life because we never hear from you anymore (sob,sob...) I wish I was

going to be there with the gang in Chicago to see you and Rich! We miss you

guys! Take care,
