Before After

Before my surgery, I spent 20 years feeling ashamed of how I looked. I was miserable. Every joint in my body hurt from packing around that horrible weight. In January 2001, I made a life-changing decision to have the LAP-BAND^® surgery. Now, I am wearing size 10 clothes! That is far beyond what my original goal was, so I am thrilled. Every day, I am amazed at this new body of mine, and I love being able to do or wear anything I want without a second thought! Best of all, sharing my success with the LAP-BAND^® and letting people know about this wonderful, safe and minimally invasive weight-loss surgery is so much fun.
