Hi, my name is Becky. I am a patient of Dr. Hess, Bowling Green, Ohio. I was over 200 lbs, and having lots of problems. I am 5'3”, so all that weight was very hard on me. I am a mother of five and grandmother of 17, and I wanted to be able to be around to see my family grow.

It has been about 12 years, and I am now at 128lbs, and very content with myself. Dr. Hess was very successful, and I owe him my life!

I am 56 years old now and realize how very important it is to keep myself in shape, and healthy. THE IS WAS BEST THING THAT EVER COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME !

The picture I am putting in here is me right after surgery, still in the hospital, and me 1 year later. I will also have one of me now. Happy and healthy!!!

Thanx so much,

Becky
