NOT long ago Terry Crews was so unwell that a round of golf was out of the question, but now he wants to regain his four handicap.
"Life was pretty ordinary," says the Melbourne engineer, who has had type 2 diabetes for 12 years and was gaining weight at a rapid rate.
By April this year, Mr Crews, 67, had reached 126kg and could no longer complete a round of golf, even with a cart.
"I needed my wife to put my shoes and socks on. I needed help to get out of bed."
Then he found out about a device called EndoBarrier, a 60cm plastic sleeve inserted into the small intestine to help people lose weight and get their insulin level under control.
