"Dr Custer was a life saver. He worked with me before the surgery, helping with insurance, answering all my many questions, took time to educate me and my family as to what to expect.rnrnBefore my surgery I was severly diabetic. I was taking 7 insulin shots and 2 oral medications daily. My blood sugar was still too high.rnrnMy surgery was in December of 2002. Since the day of surgery, I have been 'diabetic free'. My blood sugar is normal, I can eat what I want and I feel great!rnrnDid I hesitate doing the surgery? Yes, of course. It was a major operation. But, I had other major stomach problems, extremely high blood sugar, and was constantly sick.rnAfter a lot of research, questions and soul searching, I realized that if I wanted to continue to live with any quality of life, I had to do this. AND I have absolutely NO regrets.rn"
