I am healthier and happier than I have been in years!

I have always enjoyed backpacking and scuba diving. The heavier I got, the harder it got for me to be active, or do anything I wanted. I tried everything and was dedicated to losing weight – but nothing worked. I was afraid of winding up with obesity-related health problems. I’m married and we really wanted to start a family. My weight made me feel that I was losing control of my life, no matter what I did. I chose the LAP-BAND® because the surgery is much shorter and less risky, and the recovery is quicker. I returned to work the same day I was back from the hospital. Almost four years after my surgery, I am still in control of my weight and my life, and best of all, I can enjoy every day I spend with my new daughter.

In struggling with my weight my whole life, I managed to diet my way to over 300 lbs. And that was with every combination of diet and exercise program around! At that weight, life was a constant struggle and I was very worried about my health. Even though I was young, I had high blood pressure, was borderline diabetic and suffered from constant lower back pain. I discovered the LAP-BAND® System on the Internet. Once I went to the patient seminar and got all the information, I immediately knew it was right for me. Since my LAP-BAND® surgery, I no longer have high blood pressure, high blood sugar levels or lower back pain. The LAP-BAND® has been the tool that I needed to be successful at losing weight!
