Life is hard enough with the added pressure of being overweight. Two years and 115 lbs ago I had reached my breaking point. I wanted to achieve a healthier lifestyle and gain control of my weight. I work in the medical field and I was very thorough in researching my options. I chose the LAP-BAND® System because it was a non-invasive, low risk procedure with minimal recover time. I had my surgery on Friday, went home the next day and was back to work Monday morning. I have maintained my goal weight for two years now and my life has changed in such a positive way. I feel more energetic, younger and much happier. I exercise, go boating, skiing, snorkeling, wear a bikini and do many things I could not dream of doing before I had the LAP-BAND®. I am thankful that with the help of the LAP-BAND® I can keep up with my children and I no longer have to worry about my weight. |

Success Story
|
Being large most of my adult life, I had grown comfortable with my size, but as I grew older my body had become a burden. At 345 lbs I had developed Type II diabetes. As a result, I had to take medication 4 times a day and developed diabetic neuropathy in my fingers and feet. My doctors informed me that I would only be able to sustain any quality of life for the next 8-10 years; all of this due to my weight. My only option was permanent weight loss.
