Lap Band Success Stories

Rita
Lost 186 lbs.

"I recommend the LAP-BAND® to my friends
and family and anyone who has tried to lose weight but can’t seem
to keep it off."

I went to the seminar and less than six months later I had the surgery, weighing 312 lbs. and wearing a size 28 on the day of surgery. I admit I was still skeptical, but I have always loved a good challenge and that is how I looked at the process. If I wanted this surgery to work, I needed to get it together and do it right.

It has been more than four years since my surgery and I have lost 186 pounds. I am down to a size four and no longer require any obesity-related medications. I have maintained my current weight for almost two years and no longer wake up each morning with aches and pains. Now my six-year-old son tells me to slow down and that I am going too fast for him. I love it! I would have the surgery again in a heartbeat. I recommend the LAP-BAND® to my friends and family and anyone who has tried to lose weight but can’t seem to keep it off.
