I tried every weight-loss program that you can imagine. Each time I would lose weight but I’d always gain it back - plus more. After years of yo-yo dieting I topped the scales at 304 lbs and had given up on losing weight. Then I learned about the LAP-BAND® System and I knew I had another option. I could have had Gastric By-Pass, but from my nursing experience I saw first hand the risks associated with it. I knew the LAP-BAND® was the choice for me. Since my surgery I have gone from a size 30 to a size 14. I’ve lost the weight and I’m keeping it off! I’m in control of my life and I look like a whole new person. |

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. |
