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.

His staff is informative and well trained.

I was not so impressed with my stay in the hospital.

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!

September already!
on September 1, 2008 3:39 pm

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?

7 Months out!
on June 26, 2008 5:01 am

To date I have lost 103 lbs. Still working out 4 days a week. I am enrolled in a local College full time, in the Culinary Arts program. I go to the beach 3 days a week and am looking for a part time job. So needless to say I stay very busy. I am loving life and enjoying every minute of it.

I still have 40 lbs to go to meet my Dr.'s suggest goal weight of 150-ish. I have not determined for myself exactly what weight I feel comfortable at, guess I will figured that out when I get there. I am certainly glad I have made the choices I have to date! My confidence in being in school at my age is thru the roof.....which is a GOOD thing. First up was a Oral Communication class, (speechs in from of the class).......I would have never done it before, now it almost seems fun........hehe, get back to ya on that.

Feeling 20 years younger and actually LIVING!
