Camper From Wellspring

I was a camper at a Wellspring NY (AOS sister program) during the summer of 2006. Since then I have lost and kept off over 60 pounds. I had been heavy my whole life, even as a young child and this is the only program that has worked. I tried Weight Watchers, Adkins, and many other ways to loose the weight. This program really does work. It is scientifically based and there is research to prove it. I highly recommend the book to anyone or any parent that has an overweight child or teen.

This is a wonderful program, no doubt about it.

I would like to inform folks though, that my daughter and three of her friends, including her room mate, had to have Gall Bladder surgery after their rapid weight lost with this program. I'm not complaining because i am happy with my daughter's success and my decision. However, i do think they should advise parents who are considering this program that there is that risk. I had insurance, others might not be so lucky unless they are prepared in advance. Gall Bladder surgery is something rarely seen in kids until now but with the new epidemic of over-weight kids it does become a health risk for them.
