Fast forward several years and many missed opportunities because I was obese, and I saw an ad in the paper for the LAP-BAND®. It took me about five minutes to decide this was the procedure for me. I was in grad school at the time and had to wait a few months until spring break, otherwise I think I would've had it the next day!
I got my LAP-BAND March 11, 2005, and I haven't looked back since. The most I had ever lost on any diet was about 30 pounds. The LAP-BAND has helped me lose more than 150 pounds, and I'm no longer on blood pressure meds (or any other medication for that matter). I can shop at "normal" clothing stores and I've said goodbye forever to the discomfort of carrying around so much excess weight. Best of all, I have the assurance of knowing that I'll never go on another diet again, and this time the weight won’t come back. |
