Radical Weight Loss Surgery

Carol has lost almost 12 pounds in nine weeks.
Since Carol's electrical currents were turned on about nine weeks ago, she says she's lost 11.5 pounds.

"I can have the same things that I had before, but my diet's totally changed," she says. "I don't want all the foods that I wanted before, and I do go to the gym now."

Carol says she now reaches for fruit instead of candy bars when she opens the refrigerator. "I just don't want it. I don't have the cravings for it," she says. "It's changed my eating habits totally to healthier food. I make better choices now, and I have more energy."

Since her surgery, Carol says she's able to do things she hasn't done in years…like mow the grass!
