Weight loss surgery is truly a life-changing event. Share the amazing success of our family of patients by seeing a glimpse of them before and after surgery...
I struggled with my weight my entire life. At over 300 lbs, I had high blood pressure, was borderline diabetic and suffered from constant lower back pain. I discovered the LAP-BAND*® on the Internet, attended a patient seminar and immediately knew it was right for me. Since my surgery, I no longer have high blood pressure, high blood sugar levels or lower back pain. The LAP-BAND® has been the tool that I needed to finally be successful at losing weight!
I was tired of living life at 292 lbs. I had success with other weight-loss methods, but none worked long-term. I did not want to embarrass my son one day. I wanted to be healthy, and I wanted the woman on the outside to match the one on the inside. As a nurse I researched and loved the fact that the LAP-BAND® was the safest surgery available and that it was adjustable. I have lost 160 lbs. since my surgery, and… I really love the way I look!
Growing up my activities kept me in shape and my weight down. When I got out of school I got out of sports, other priorities took over my life and the weight piled on. I tried all the fad diets, most with little or no success. Then, I learned about the LAP-BAND® System. At first I had trouble believing that with the LAP-BAND® the weight would not come back, that it was not a diet but a tool, and that I was in total control of my weight loss. The LAP-BAND® is still there to help me maintain my weight loss for the rest of my life.
