Patient Testimonials

Since my surgery, I have been able to do things like ride my bike. I haven't been able to do that since I was a teenager!
Charlene  
Before surgery, I was miserable. I tried every diet on the market with no results. The lap band procedure really helped change my life.
James  
I was having 3 injections a day before my weight loss surgery. Now, I am no longer taking medication. I feel great and have lots of energy. I am even training to run 5k's.
David  
Prior to my surgery, it took me an hour to fall asleep at night. I never knew it was due to being over weight. Now, I know the meaning of a good night's sleep.
Ezell  
Before my surgery, I had barely any energy. Now, I am working my way up to running 3 miles everyday.
Brenda  
My weight was like a rollercoaster, always up and down. After my surgery, I actually got to ride a rollercoaster for the first time. I felt like a kid again!
Cei  
After surgery, my confidence was boosted. I was more assertive in what I wanted and I finally took the driver’s seat of my life.
Danny  
Prior to my surgery, I was very inactive. Now, I do almost anything and am very involved in church. I have even gone back to school. I feel wonderful!
Rebecca  
I can do things like cross my legs and sit indian style. I never was able to do that before. I feel like a completely different person!
