Ten Incredible Ways the Lap Band Changed My Life

So you’ve heard about the Lap Band, and you know the benefits look good on paper. But what is it really like to live it? I’ve been banded for 8 years now, and I can tell you from first-hand experience that the Lap Band procedure changed my life. Obviously…I believe in it so much, I now work for True Results. Now I can help other people experience the same transformation I did. It’s become a personal mission.

8 Ways to Achieve Lap Band Success on Memorial Day

I always tell my patients: with the Lap Band, there are no foods you can’t eat, but there are definitely some you shouldn’t. As we’re about to embark on Memorial Day and a string of other junk food filled summer holidays, we all need to remember to keep an eye on what we’re eating.

Not long ago, a patient walked through my door who I’d cared for more than 20 years ago when I was working at a family practice. I was so happy to see her, but so sad to see that the happy little four-year-old I once knew was now having major health problems and desperately unhappy. At the root of her problems: being overweight.

The Lap Band: Is It Your Answer to Weight Loss?

Eight years ago, I lost 90 pounds with the Lap Band, and it changed my life.  If you’ve been struggling with weight loss, then the Lap Band may be the answer for you too.

That’s my job here at True Results: to help people figure out if the Lap Band is right for them. In my role as a Lap Band Advocate for True Results, I lead support groups, educate people about the Lap Band vs. other options and, if this is the answer for them, help them through getting qualified for insurance or financing. I am excited to have a new way to talk to you through this blog!
