This is my story
I have struggled with my weight my entire adult life. I made numerous attempts at weight loss through the years & would be fairly successful, but I’d always gain the weight back plus more. At the age of 41 after years of yo-yo dieting, I had given up on weight loss. Then I heard about the LAP-BAND®. I learned that it was minimally invasive, adjustable & even removable if need be. I decided it was the right thing for me. Dr. Smith performed my surgery in June of 2005. The weight started coming off immediately. Over the next year, I followed the Fort Worth LAP-BAND® Weight Loss Team’s guidelines closely and had adjustments regularly. I reached my weight loss goal of 100 lbs in August of 2006. There has been such a freedom with the weight loss. Everything about life is easier. My weight no longer controls every aspect of my life. With the LAP-BAND®, I’m finally in control. My health has improved and I feel younger and more energetic. I love the way I look now. The woman on the outside finally matches the one on the inside!
