Elizabeth claimed that her up-and-down weight issues over time made her feel like she was a yo-yo. She would lose some weight, only to gain it back a short time later.

With her weight going back-and-forth and no end in sight to the problem, Elizabeth looked into how Lap Band surgery may help her with her issue.

At 35 years of age, Elizabeth had eventually reached 230 pounds and knew she had to do something about her weight problem.

Trying different diets over time did not work for Elizabeth either. She even noted that dieting led her to chest pains and worse.

Things got so bad for Elizabeth that she contemplated her own life and what it was worth to her. Reaching out for help, Elizabeth turned to Lap Band surgery to find some hope.

For Elizabeth, the decision to turn to Lap Band surgery would be a life-changing event.

Lap Band Decision

Before her decision to reach out and try Lap Band surgery, Elizabeth said that she had become obsessed about her weight and just how to try and lose it.

Going forward with Lap Band surgery, Elizabeth noted that her life had indeed changed, but for the better.

“Since the Lap Band surgery, it makes me want to try a little harder with myself,” Elizabeth commented. “I have more energy now and I’m taking things one day at a time.”

One thing that has changed for Elizabeth is that she now chews her food properly and feels like she has more control over her eating habits than she did prior to Lap Band surgery.

Elizabeth’s introduction to Lap Band came by chance, as she saw an advertisement for the weight-loss procedure on the back of a bus. From there, her life would soon change.

Lap Band Results

Since having Lap Band surgery, Elizabeth notes that she feels much better about her situation, both physically and mentally.

As Elizabeth notes, “Would you rather feel jittery and sick or would you rather go through with the procedure?” The answer to that question was the latter for Elizabeth and Lap Band has done wonders for her.

One of the positive things with Lap Band surgery is that the band is adjusted to meet the needs of each individual patient over time.

Elizabeth had her first Lap Band adjustment some four to eight months following her surgery and she said you have to learn to eat properly. “You have to work at it,” she adds.

For Elizabeth, her goal is to reach 135 pounds when all is said and done.

Being someone that weighed in at 230 pounds at one point prior to Lap Band surgery, Elizabeth said she has dropped about 40 pounds since having the weight loss surgery.

For Elizabeth, the pounds continue to come off and she is headed in the right direction.
