LAP-BAND® System Patient Amanda lost 149 lbs:
I tried every weight-loss program that you can imagine. Each time I would lose weight but I'd always gain it back - plus more. After years of yo-yo dieting I topped the scales at 304 lbs and had given up on losing weight. Then I learned about the LAP-BAND® System and I knew I had another option. |

LAP-BAND® System Patient Robin, lost 150 lbs:
I felt the gastric bypass was too drastic a surgery but I knew I needed to do 'something'. When I heard about the LAP-BAND®, I knew immediately it was perfect. I knew that the LAP-BAND® would help me lose weight with reduced food intake without the starvation and depravation. |

LAP-BAND® System Patient Tess lost 161 lbs:
The stigma that comes with being overweight in our society is very sad but very real; I felt that stigma every day. But my self-image wasn't the only thing suffering - so was my health. I was developing high blood pressure, sleep apnea and was practically immobile. I chose the LAP-BAND® System because it was the least invasive surgery and it was a tool that would teach me to eat well and take better care of myself. |

LAP-BAND® System Surgeon and Patient Dr. G., lost 105 lbs:
I have been a general surgeon for 20 years and started doing LAP-BAND® surgery around the same time that I got my own LAP-BAND® - in October 2002. After this minimally invasive procedure, I was back at home the next day and was able to resume operating 2 days later. |

LAP-BAND® System Patient Jodi, lost 115 lbs:
Life is hard enough with the added pressure of being overweight. Two years and 115 lbs ago I had reached my breaking point. I wanted to achieve a healthier lifestyle and gain control of my weight. I work in the medical field and I was very thorough in researching my options. I chose the LAP-BAND® System because it was a non-invasive, low risk procedure with minimal recover time. |
