In 1980 I was in a very stressful job, my peers were taking to alcohol, drugs, casual sex. No one to trust so I turned to Jacque LePepin and successfully GAINED sixty pounds in one year. In the latter part of 2006 I decided that weight loss surgery had progressed enough to be a valid consideration. I went in for the "dye" test on a Friday; on Tuesday morning Dr Robertson successfully performed a quadruple bypass. I have now worked hard to get my other health under control and my personal outflook is that I would certainly enjoy living longer and actually participating in life again. My social security dollars are not going far enough so I went to HUD and qualified for Section 8. I have a part-time job as a bookkeeper. I wake up without an alarm clock. The psychological benefits of working have done me well.
