"<b><font face="Book Antiqua"><font size=2><p align="left">I first met Dr. Fast at seminar that their medical group Tempus sponsored I was really impressed by the presentation, they not only talked of the benfits but also the risks that are involved. Dr. Fast was very down to earth and spoke in a way that you could understand without having to have a medical degree like it is talking to some doctors. I had my First appointment on December 16, 2002 it was an all morning appt. where we not only saw the doctor but had a meeting without Linda who is 5 years post op and LOOKS GREAT she talked about everything she went trough and has experienced since she went to work for Tempus. In the Tempus program they follow you for a minimum of five years post op, which I found comforting and they require you to be walking 2 miles a day pre op so the habit is established before surgery so it's not so hard after. They also require that you are drinking 2 liters of water a day and not drinking with meals or for 1/2 an hour before and 1 hour after. i feel I am being prepared for the rest of my Life. "
