Weight Loss Testimonial

WVLT’s Chef Walter: “Is Chef Walter’s weight loss deliberate?”

The answer to that question, posed to the switchboard operator at Knoxville's WVLT-TV on a regular basis is yes.  In May of 2008, I enrolled in the Medical Weight Loss Program at University Surgeons Associates and the University Bariatric Center determined to lose excess pounds and control my diabetes and high blood pressure.

I chose the most structured approach to weight management.  By November of 2008, I had lost more than 60 pounds.  I have lost almost 90 pounds and reduced or eliminated numerous medications.
