FEMALE VOICE: Well, I put weight on after the birth of my kids and just continued and continued to put the weight on and tried every diet that you can—you name it; I did it. Cabbage soup, you name it. Starving. Everything. And I just got to a point where I realized that I was going to die if I did not make a change. At first I didn’t want to come here because he was so far away from my house. He’s like, almost an hour drive and, uhm, once I came down and met him I realized it actually was a blessing in the skies and it was a good thing that I was here.

FEMALE VOICE 1: Being a nurse, we’re kind of skeptical and kind of, you know, look at doctors in a different light than other people and, uhm, I actually really liked Dr. Conn from the first time I met him. Which, I wasn’t going to like him. I was sure that my insurance was going to have to refer me to someone else. I was sure of it. And I was set up to come here and, you know, not like Dr. Conn. And it was exactly the opposite. I’ve lost over 90 pounds and it’s changed my life in ways that are immeasurable. Uhm—from not waking up wondering what I’m going to eat all day long, to waking up and weight able to put weight on my feet and not have it hurt with every single step. Uhm, knowing that I’ve lengthen my life, there’s a history of diabetes in my family and, uhm, I know that by eating better and uhm, you know, working with my tool, that I’m going to actually have a longer life and be much more healthy.
