Helen:

My overall health is tremendous. I was diabetic. Diabetes is gone. I still take my readings. My levels are always normal. I have not taken any pills in two years now.

My blood pressure is like the blood pressure of a 19-year-old, my doctor says, and my skin – skin feels better, looks better. I am still getting old, but overall my general health is much, much better. Much better. Taking much less pills than I ever took in my life. So it’s a big change.

Dr. Liu has been a big part of my life for the last two years. He has been my crutch, my right arm, and if you are considering the LAP-BAND®, I would highly recommend Dr. Carson Liu as your surgeon. He will take an interest in you as a person, and that’s the most important part of any surgery for anybody, that the doctor cares about you as person, and Dr. Liu is that type of guy. He is terrific.
