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!

Now, three and a half years after LAP-BAND® surgery, I feel like a totally transformed person!

The LAP-BAND® changed my life!
