“At the time of surgery I weighed in at 280 lbs. I began to see that life in 20 years was not something to look forward to.

I was reborn on July 14th, 2003. My surgery went off without a hitch. I have now lost 135 pounds and have gone from a size 28 to a size 8. I have had a wonderful experience losing the weight and gaining my life back. I do have one regret though… I wish I would have done this sooner! I can never thank Dr. Oliak enough for giving me a life I never knew was possible. I owe you all so much.”
