I felt the gastric bypass was too drastic a surgery but I knew I needed to do 'something'. When I heard about the LAP-BAND®, I knew immediately it was perfect. I knew that the LAP-BAND® would help me lose weight with reduced food intake without the starvation and depravation. If I got pregnant or got ill, all the fluid could be removed and I could have a temporary 'regular' stomach again. It seemed like a no-brainer! |

Success Story
|
LAP-BAND® System Patient Tess, lost 161 lbs: The stigma that comes with being overweight in our society is very sad but very real; I felt that stigma every day. But my self-image wasn't the only thing suffering - so was my health. I was developing high blood pressure, sleep apnea and was practically immobile. I chose the LAP-BAND® System because it was the least invasive surgery and it was a tool that would teach me to eat well and take better care of myself. |
