LaShawn felt like her weight loss problem was out of control.

Having tried conventional diets and other measures to lose weight, LaShawn turned to TopSurgeons to get her weight under control.

LaShawn had the weight loss surgery last year and now feels like she has control over what she is doing when it comes to her weight. Having suffered from both high blood pressure and high cholesterol, LaShawn knew it was time to seek help with her dieting.

Having gone through the Lap Band surgery successfully, LaShawn has now been able to get off of medications for both high blood pressure and high cholesterol. "I'm very pleased with the process from the beginning of it to now," LaShawn points out.

Saying she was just about desperate with her weight issue prior to having the procedure done, LaShawn now says that she has lost some 12 pounds since having surgery.

"The process of losing the weight is slow and it can be up-and-down," LaShawn said. "I'm learning how to eat again," she added.

LaShawn credits the staff at TopSurgeons for all their efforts towards her and others who have sought help. "This has changed my life drastically," LaShawn said.

One of the big keys to success for LaShawn and others who have had the procedure is making sure they are getting the proper nutrition.

"Having had the surgery has made me better prepared to how to cook again for my family," LaShawn commented. "I would recommend this surgery to anyone and everyone who suffers from obesity."

Starting her life over again, LaShawn is just one of many examples of how TopSurgeons can get you back on the road to feeling healthy once again.
