Personal Stories

"The Lap-Band provided a way for me to break free from the horrible prison of fat. A world of changes has occurred - others' perceptions, my confidence and self-esteem, a higher energy level, the excitement of looking in the mirror and seeing the new me, the joy of knowing that I can become all that I can be… I could go on, but above all, the Lap-Band has given me a healthier lifestyle and a healthier me."

Weight Lost: 95 lbs.

"My choice was easy: the Lap-Band surgery was the least invasive option and would enable me to recover more quickly. I was in the hospital for a day and back at work in 10 days. I haven't been hungry since and I eat whatever I want. The Lap-Band is such a good tool to remind you when to stop eating and a way to lose weight without sacrificing nutrition. Would I recommend this surgery to someone else? Absolutely! Would I have it again myself? In a heartbeat."
