The 180's are right there . I can visualize it. The 190's is the lowest I got after surgery on May 30, 2008. That was 17 years ago and eventually I lost my focus and gained back weight, as high as 280. As I reflect on what happened , I…

Awful doesn't come close to describing Dr. Arnold and his staff. They will make you wait for months and then when you arrive, they won't tell you that you are not meeting with a licensed doctor but instead "student doctors". I had no clue the person treating me and scheduling…
