Ok first I have an awesome surgeon Dr. Tillquist at Sweedish Medical Center in Englewood Colorado. This has made a huge but healthy impact on my life. I can actually see the pounds quickly melting away. The surgery has reversed my type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. I'm very excited to also loose my sleep apnea as well. I'm very thankful to my surgeon and my primary care physician and my wife who all have supported me through this whole process. Bring on the weight loss! Joe
