Gladys, Lost 120 pounds
Being overweight was always an issue with me and also the rest of my family. We tried all diets - from Weight Watchers, Slim-Fast and Jenny Craig, even Phen-Phen. Lost some pounds, but gained twice the amount back again.
Jodee, Lost 98 pounds
All my life I never had to watch my weight until I attended college. From then on I would allow myself to gain 20 lbs, because I knew I could diet and get it off. Well, 20 lbs became 30, and 30lbs became 40. I soon became a compulsive and professional dieter.
Nancy, Lost 130 pounds
I had the lap-band procedure a little under two years ago. Since then, I've lost a total of 130 pounds - losing 90 pounds in the first 12 months!!
Toni, Lost 121 pounds
The turning point for me was when I was about to turn 40. I didn't want to be fat at 40 and I decided it was time to make a change and started the process toward pursuing weight loss surgery.
Neller, Lost 115 pounds
I struggled with my weight pretty much my entire life – ever since I was 9 years old.
Tony & Laura, Lost 200 pounds combined
We've lost a combined total of 200 pounds with the lap-band! (Laura) As a couple, my husband Tony and I have been successful in many areas of our life, business, financially... But we could just not seem to control the one aspect of losing weight.
Staci, Lost 45 pounds
The main reason I had the lap-band was for my health. It wasn't cosmetic. The lap-band was perfect for me. I had surgery on Thursday and I was back at work on Monday.
Andrew, Lost 174 Pounds
My name is Andrew and my “Bandiversary”, as I endearingly call the day of my surgery, is November 8th of 2008. It has been two years since my lap-band procedure and I have lost a total of 174lbs.
Jennifer, Lost 160 pounds
My husband Barry and I both had lap-band surgery and have lost over 200 pounds. I myself have lost over 160 pounds in total (88 pounds in the first 12 months!).
Kelly, Lost 101 pounds
How hasn't it changed my life? I have lost 101 pounds and I had the surgery on the 15th of December 2004, so it's been about a year.
Jenifer, Lost 65 pounds
After 20 years of going to doctors, nutritionists, or whoever would give me the “popular” stomach diagnosis of the moment. Professionals would take me off of certain food because everything irritated me. Yet, I was still always holding on to so much weight and feeling miserable all of the time. I was poked and prodded and I had had ENOUGH!!
Melinda, Lost 60 pounds
I began my lap-band journey on July 8, 2009 and have lost a total of 60 pound since this date and haven’t looked back since. After many years of trying to shed the excess weight on my own without any real success, I decide it was time to do something more. That’s when I began researching different weight-loss options and surgery centers.
Mike, Achieved goal weight in 11 months
I achieved my goal weight in only 11 months. I haven´t felt or looked this great since my college days.
Barry, Lost 50 pounds
Less than a year ago I had lap-band surgery and I have lost almost 50 pounds.
Julie, Lost 90 Lbs
I have been troubled with my weight for most of my life. I tried all the fancy diet and exercise programs. Not only was I having trouble with my weight, I was also having issues with my blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure. Finally, I chose to have the lap-band procedure.
