Maria had the Lap Band surgery back in November and believes it is the best thing she has had done, noting she did it for health reasons.

"I wanted to start looking human again," Maria notes, saying she tried different programs and gained the weight back, oftentimes even more weight.

As in the case of many patients who have walked through the doors at TopSurgeons, Maria had a positive experience with the staff, noting they the people were very nice. "I was really satisfied with everything," Maria said.

As for changes, Maria said she doesn't feel as heavy or get as tired as she used to prior to the procedure.

"I'm not worried and I'm going to a size 12," Maria said, noting she would like to get to 150 pounds.

With her road to recovery seeming positive, Maria will likely attain that desired dress size and then some.
