Kay Berg

Kay Berg fought the frustration and embarassment of weight gain all her life. But at more than 260 pounds, she developed diabetes. Improving her health became critical. Trusting the doctors of Mid Dakota Clinic, she turned to the PrimeCare Surgical Weight Loss Program led by Dr. Brandon Helbling and Dr. Gaylord Kavlie. Through surgery and a complete program of education, counseling and support, our team helped her finally lose the weight and gain her health.
