Surgeon Testimonial

Brian Gluck, D.O.
Dr. Brian Gluck's program is far better than most i've researched or have heard about. He has everything in place with aftercare, Nutrionist, exercising, support groups etc. He is in the Center of Excellence. He has an attitude of compassion and cares about how his patients are doing. I would recommend him for this surgery to anyone looking for a surgeon, his program covers everything for you. rnrnHis staff is informative and well trained.rnrnI was not so impressed with my stay in the hospital.rnrn

    Congratulations on your surgery TODAY! I regret not getting here in time to wish you well before you had to be off, but I pray everything went well and you are now recovering comfortably. I wanted you to know that I am praying for you. I pray that God will bless you with a smooth and complication-free recovery followed by a life time of improved health and long term weight loss. May your post-op journey be filled with wow moments and supportive people to light up your way! When you get home remember to sip, sip, sip and get up and moving as best you can (it'll make a big difference in how you feel and how quickly you can recover). WELCOME TO THE LOSER'S BENCH!

    Wednesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Can't even begin to tell you how much a kick-boxing class has changed my shape.  in 2 months of 1-2 classes a week , I have dropped 9.5 inches from my body, 3 on my waist!!!   KICKBOXING is a great way to jump start that stall, and help take the inches off.  I sooooo recommend it.   KICK BOX, KICK BOX, its just a simple routing of fun, fast dancing music with some jabs, and cross punches and leg kicks, all at your own pace..............Try it out in your area, you will be amazed!!!

Where August go?   I am a full time student and have a part time job.  I do kick-boxing 3 days a week.  I am having the time of my life.  I am on a month break from school, fall classes dont start till Sept. 29. 

I am down 116 lbs.  Still have 20-25 to go.  It all depends on where I feel comfortable, thats where I will maintain.  My Dr. suggested 150, but I have no clue, we see when I get there.

I hope everyone is feeling the fabulousness that I am.  I still have some issues, but life is sweet!!!!   Luv you all!

I will put new picture up.  I could do one of those 100 lbs loss pictures up in the before and after.......How do we do that?  Anyone know?

My Story



  
 

 

    My new life montra.......

CHANGE IS ESSTENIAL FOR LIFE....
     BE WILLING TO SURRENDER WHO YOU ARE FOR WHAT YOU COULD BECOME


  I am over 50 years old.  I start out here at 280 lbs. 5'0'', sooo pretty much as wide as I am tall.  (for now)   Married for 25 years to the love of my life, 2 great kids and 2 grandkids.Been heavy all my life, tried every diet that exsists.  Lost alot of weight, only to  it back again,....plus!  You know the drill. Looked into bariatric surgery back in 2003, thought it was not for me, .  Well I gave it the ole college try for a few more years, and learned I couldnt do it by myself ......NOT WORKING FOR ME.  I needed the tools that this procedure could give me; .........major being the most effective of all!  I found that I was still teachable and OMG..I don't know everything after all My health was in dangerous mode: type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, chronic arthritis pain, 2 knee surgeries, 2 back surgeries, high cholesterol, fatigue and depression just to name a few. So finding my surgeon and his program was a real GOD thing!    I will survive!
