Well what can i say... My story is like many others. I grew up in a large italian family that made you always clean ur plate, But from a very young age i was in grandmothers kitchen watching and learning as long as i can remember.. I went on to restarant work after high shool and seemed to pick it right up along with an extra 300 pounds..I love my own cooking as did many others , so it was easy to eat since it seemed i was always working. Well on day i fell and hurt my knee very bad and ended up having a total knee recontruction done and was of work for about 4 years.. i was in therapy daily but still couldnt seem to shed much weight.. When i returned to work i gained even more weight then hurt my back and had to have surgery and the pounds just poured on since i was about incapacitated for quite some time.I had 3 doctors and also a team of orthopedic doctors tell me i would be in a wheelchair possibly buried and dead if I kept up the weight gain and lack of excersize and my blood pressue was out of control. So really this was a life saving experience for me and im thankful every day when i look at myself in the mirror .. I am now living a very different life and am quite content with who I have become
.. And I thank Doctor Arreola every day for giving me a chance at having a real life inside a happier healthier body..Anyone out there who ish thier weight and are so unhealthy that its life threatening should see my doctor he was a wonderful guy ...and was such great 
in my recovery!
