I've lost 230 pounds since my surgery. I've also gotten rid of diabetes, hypertension and all that crap. Before I had my surgery, this was one of the most informative videos I watched.

I have so much respect for this guy. I just had my procedure 6 days ago and I wish that the staff that I worked with had empathy training....what a difference that would have made. So far so good tho>

I was diagnosed with high blood pressure last August and was having great difficulty getting it lowered. Searching the net I came upon Levodyn and decided to try it. I started out taking two tablets twice a day, and now I take one tablet twice a day a little before my lunch and dinner. With the added help of diet and exercise I am delighted that my blood pressure has come down dramatically. At it's worst it was in the 180/90 range but today it is 123/72.

Your 160 and want to lose 33 pounds, your on the wrong pag. Most of these people need to lose 150 to 200 pounds and more. Thank your lucky stars its only 30 (2 stone) pounds thats nothing.

If you want to lose pure body fat it could take about 6 to 7 months. The healthy amount of weight to lose a week and not have it easily come back would be 1 to 2 pounds. You would need to change your diet and atleast walk/run for about 25 minutes 2 to 3 times a week. I would recommend a gym since it provides various machines and equipment to help you from getting bored with the same ole thing week in and out. Trainers are also great, and joining a class is also a way to keep it fun.
