Unfortunately,
I have to tell you
1:11:04
that Health is gonna have to
close its doors,
1:11:07
effective immediately.
1:11:08
Im sorry to have to
tell you that over the phone.
1:11:10
We're all sort of surprised,
but we will proceed as before --
1:11:13
just not at
the integrated Health center.
1:11:16
Okay, Morgan, thanks,
and I will talk to you soon.
1:11:20
Bye-bye.
1:11:21
Apparently,
we don't put much value
1:11:24
on health in America anymore.
1:11:26
In fact, each year,
we spend over $30 billion
1:11:29
on diet products
and weight-loss programs,
1:11:31
2 1/2 times what we spend
on fitness and health.
1:11:34
There are pills, drinks, bars.
1:11:36
You can lose weight while you
sleep, while you watch TV,
1:11:38
and while eating
everything you want --
1:11:40
always pushing the newest way
to stay thin without exercise.
1:11:44
Some people, however, feel
that they have tried everything
1:11:48
and see
only one remaining option
1:11:50
as their last hope for health.
1:11:51
I'm diabetic.
1:11:53
80% of the people don't have to
take insulin anymore after this.
1:11:58
Plus, I have hypertension.
1:11:59
Hopefully, correct that,
lose my weight,
1:12:02
and lose my high blood pressure.
1:12:04
This is Bruce Howlett.
1:12:06
In a few minutes, his stomach
will be surgically reduced
1:12:09
to the size of a small apple
in a gastric bypass operation.
1:12:12
People with hypertension
who are obese,
1:12:16
about 75% of them
1:12:18
will get rid of
their hypertensive medications.
1:12:21
Doctors Adam Naaman
and Carl Geisler
1:12:24
will be performing
the operation.
1:12:25
Together,
they have done more than 500
1:12:27
gastric bypass surgeries,
and with their tandem technique,
1:12:30
they are setting
the industry standard,
1:12:32
completing the procedure
in less than 30 minutes
1:12:34
and sending patients home
the following day.
1:12:37
We have established now
that the only procedure
1:12:42
that really cures diabetes
is obesity surgery.
1:12:47
I went blind for a week.
1:12:49
Just one day out of the blue,
you went blind?
1:12:52
I went to work,
drove to work that night,
1:12:54
got to work,
couldn't read the charts,
1:12:57
and I had to call my supervisor,
tell her I couldn't work
1:12:59
because I couldn't see
what I was doing,
