Chapter 1
Weight Loss Surgery –
Punching The Reset Button

Did you ever wish you could go back in time ten, twenty or thirty years and just start over on your weight battle? Before you had to buy a seatbelt extender or take medication for high blood pressure or stay home because you couldn’t climb the bleachers to go to your son’s football game? Back when you only had twenty or thirty pounds to lose, not 120 or 130 pounds?

If you could just punch a reset button and start over, you know you’d have a fighting chance to stay at a healthy weight, a chance you don’t seem to get no matter how many diets you try or how hard you work at it.
