I never could have imagined that something so simple and so easy could change my
life completely. I chose the Lap-Band because it was the most uncomplicated and
hopeful option that I have seen to date. I am not controlled anymore by food. I
control my life. I still get to eat and enjoy the foods that I love. You only have
one shot in life. I wanted a bright future. I'm young, I'm energetic and vivacious.
Now I'm empowered and I am powerful enough to know that I can accomplish anything.
I can run, I can ski...My only regret is that I did not do this sooner.
I am 32 years old and have struggled with weight most of my life, up and down every
possible diet drug, diet plan and starvation diet you can imagine.
I am such a fun outgoing person and just wasn't able to be that person and do the
things I loved. And I just felt trapped inside - someone who I was not.
A doctor that I went to had suggested the Lap-Band and I had never heard of it before.
So I began my research of DayOne Health and Dr. Horgan for over a year. I just knew
it was right - the surgery was so much less traumatic to the body and long lasting
results, no rearranging of intestines like gastric bypass etc... And it has been
the most amazing, awesome experience ever.
I followed the rules to a tee, worked very closely with my surgical team and the
center staff, which is very important for follow up, and as a result I have had
great sucess. It is been over a year now and still going strong.
