February 2016
Why did you get a lap band?
I was feeling miserable and unhealthy. I was no longer sleeping well and began having trouble breathing doing even simple things like taking a walk or playing with grandkids. Both of my parents died of cancer and struggled with other health issues and I did not want to walk the same path. I knew to lower my risk of diabetes and to be there for my grandchildren (2 on the way) I had to do something about my health. The lap band was less invasive and less extreme and I did a lot of research before committing. I am so happy with my progress and weight loss of 50 lbs.!
What has been your biggest health improvements?
I am able to walk further, have less trouble breathing, less joint pain, more self-confidence, and much more energy!
Advice?
I would tell those thinking about lap band to do a lot of research and to utilize the resources they have within the office like the FB page and staff. I wish I could attend the support groups more but the one I did attend featured 2 patients who told their weight loss stories and it was so motivating!
