[font=tahoma, geneva, sans-serif][size=4]I developed Type II diabetes and heart problems. My fat was killing me and I was unable to diet and keep the weight off. Surgery was the only option left. Due to complications during and after surgery, my hospital stay and cost doubled and tripled. [/size][/font]
[font=tahoma, geneva, sans-serif][size=4]Three years latter, my health is the best it has been in twenty years; the diabetes is gone and the heart problems are under control. Without medical intervention, I do not think I would be alive today.[/size][/font]
