Kathy Ruggero's Testimonial
I had been fighting my weight for 20 years and tried many diets. My job at a hospital allowed me to meet many patients who successfully had the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. I was tipping the scales at nearly 300 pounds and decided that I wanted to enjoy my life again and would have the surgery.
 I decided that I wanted to be healthy and enjoy walks with my husband. I wanted to be able to sit in normal size chairs without fear of them breaking. I wanted to have the energy to be able to go places with my grown children. I wanted to be able to play on the floor with future grandchildren and be able to get up without problems. I wanted to be able to tie my own shoes.
Before my surgery, I was taking 9 different medications for diabetes, high blood pressure and arthritis. Today, I am off all of these medications. Thanks to this surgery, I earned my health back. In the past 17 months, I have lost 130 pounds. I feel like I have turned back the clock 20 years.
