Hear from others and their success!
Jodi Johnson
Believe it or not, Jodi used to be almost 100 pounds heavier. After trying all the diets, Jodi decided on another option – weight loss surgery. "The one thing they drilled into my head is this doesn't solve everything," Jodi recalls. "This is just a tool that really helps you!"
Shane Emery
"I finally decided to have surgery because my wife was pregnant and I wanted to be around to raise my son. It is the best decision I made for myself and my family! It is also one of the hardest things I have ever done. Watching exactly what I eat and working out has been hard work, but it has paid off, without a doubt!"
