Now, after losing 176 pounds, I just don't know how I was able to get up every day and go to work or do the every day things one must do. This surgery, Dr. Callery, and all of you have given me my life back.

All those who have pre-surgery jitters, this surgery will work for you if you follow all the guidelines. I too had those jitters. I almost got up and left the hospital the morning of surgery. I am so glad now that I didn't! Just remember that we are all here for you when you need us.
