[i][size=3]I started this Journey January of 2014. I never really considered this as an option however after 3 back surgery's, severe re-flux, Diabetes and on and on my weight was going up and my health going down. The first surgeon I saw turned me down because of previous surgery's and felt there was too much Scar Tissue.[/size][/i]
[i][size=3]Then my Primary felt I should get a 2nd opinion which is when I found Dr. Drew. I had all but given up. He spent a great deal of time explaining things to my husband and myself and the staff was awesome. He was even able to complete the surgery with out have to open to a full incision. [/size][/i]
[i][size=3]I am still new on this Journey and will wait on the photos. However am excited and motivated. [/size][/i]
[i][size=3]I have a wonderful and supportive Husband and Daughter and Son N Law and look forward to getting healthier so I can be there for them all and our grandchildren[/size][/i]
