    Video Testimonial
 
Charles Long wanted to play the leading man.

"My doctor said I wouldn't see age 40 if I didn't do something. High blood pressure, severe acid reflux, borderline diabetes, sleep apnea … a walking time bomb and totally miserable. I wore a 6X shirt and size 62 jeans.

There were no complications at all with my surgery. My insurance paid because of the other health problems I had, and Dr. Boyce was very helpful with that. There is a nutritionist and exercise physiologist at the Weight Management Center and tons of support groups. It's 90% mental, and they helped me change. It worked.

    Before and After
   
The weight came off so easily! In fact, I got down to 185 and they made me gain some back. 210 is my ideal weight and that's easy to maintain now.

Today I can do things like buckle my seat belt and buy clothes off the rack. I walk the dogs, even take the stairs, and I'm not out of breath. I'm off all the blood pressure medicine. What a great life I have now! And it's all because of gastric bypass surgery."

Charles Long had gastric bypass surgery in August, 2004 at Parkwest Medical Center, a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence, and member of Covenant Health.
