Today is my first day on the PS1000 plan. I’m 64 years old and take 5 Rxs for diabetes, 1 for high cholesterol, 2 for high blood pressure, and 1 for acid reflux. I started this program because I have reached the end of my rope for taking so may Rxs and spending so much money out of my fixed income for them. I recently read an article about diabetics being cured by simply losing a significant amount of weight. My doctor had mentioned several times that diabetics who have gastric bypass surgery are taken off all diabetes, cholesterol, and high blood pressure meds immediately after surgery. Gastric bypass surgery is not on my to-do list, yet. Hopefully, this program will be the answer for my much needed weight loss and healthier lifestyle. I am a little over 5′ 10″ and my starting weight is 243. I have lost about 20 lbs over the past 5 to 6 months, which I can only attribute to the 5th diabetes Rx my doctor started me on. The ads for it mention possible weight loss with the RX even though it is not intended for weight loss. My goals are to get healthy and, Lord willing, live a lot longer for my family, get off ALL Rxs and save a ton of $$$, and feel much much better physically and emotionally. Wearing smaller sized clothes is a motivator, too.
