Marie L. found Lap Band surgery to be her ticket to weight gain loss.
Marie decided to give Lap Band surgery as she had seen her weight increase to 247 pounds at one point. After looking at Gastric Bypass surgery, she decided Lap Band surgery was the route for her to go.
The decision for Marie to opt for Lap Band surgery was due to the procedure being reversible and less evasive. Her battles with weight loss saw her gain weight back after weight loss programs and then some.
Marie contacted TopSurgeons and met with the doctor who she noted answered all her questions in terms that did not go over her head.
"Every nurse here (TopSurgeons) remembers you and everyone is very nice," Marie said.
After having the surgery, Marie is feeling better and has upped her exercise program and follows her diet plan. She reports that she now walks some four miles a week.
Since the surgery, she has gone down a pant size and down a blouse size. "My face is thinner and everything seems different," Marie said.
Marie has recommended the procedure to friends and wants people to know that when you have the surgery, you are not laid up for days. "I did everything they told me to do and you eat less food, but more often. You now make healthier choices and the band controls how much food you take in. Your eyes are much larger than your appetite."
Marie advises individuals to go on the Internet and get more information about Lap Band surgery because it works in her mind. "It is not a hard procedure to get done," Marie said. "I came in at 6 in the morning for the procedure and was home by 4 in the afternoon."
One thing that definitely pleases Marie is that the doctors are always there for her. "I can pick up the phone anytime and call them," Marie said. "The Lap band surgery is great and I'm glad I took the time to do the research I did."
And one other piece of advice - Marie advises to do what is best for you.
For Marie, having Lap Band surgery was the best choice she could have made.
