Before surgery, walking a half mile took 45 minutes. Now it takes me 12.
Reginald Williams, of Rahway, suffered a variety of health issues including Type 2 diabetes and heart problems that caused falls, resulting in broken bones. His doctors stressed the potential benefits of losing weight on his overall health. Mr. Williams was a candidate for weight-loss surgery and that was how his journey to better health began.
In his words…
“My surgery was in late August and by November I was off insulin and only using a cane in bad weather. The whole staff has been so helpful, giving me motivation. Before surgery, walking a half mile took 45 minutes. Now it takes me 12. Overall, I have more energy for healthy habits. Everything is easier now and I have the team at RWJ Rahway to thank for that.”
