I had my Ds Aug last year. Starting weight was 320 I have lost 137 and are now approx 183! It saved my life. I have a perfect new life now. I have no complications. I can eat almost anything but do it in moderation if it is not healthy food. I also look well after myself. Take my vits regulalry and do yearly blood tests just to make sure all my levels stays perfect. LOVE MY NEW LIFE!
