“I had just turned forty and realized that I had to do something about my weight. My weight of 310 pounds had contributed to high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and pre diabetes. I had very little energy to keep up with my three young children. I realized that I needed a jump-start that would result in the life style change I was searching for.

My transformation began when a dear friend, who also had the surgery, recommended me to Dr. Oliak. Prior to my first visit with Dr. Oliak, I had researched his website as well as various other sources about the procedure. I was very confident that this procedure was the dawn of what would become the new me.

Unfortunately, my employer’s medical policy would not cover the procedure. After careful consideration, my wife and I decided the money would come from my life insurance policy. Ironically my life insurance policy would be used to extend my life.

Proudly, since the surgery I have never felt better. Sleep apnea gone! High blood pressure gone! And the diabetes that has affected my family for generations has stopped at my parents generation. I have lost a total of 145 pounds and I feel amazing!”
