Pamela B. came to TopSurgeons for the Lap Band surgery and says everything to date is great.
Pam had the surgery on a Friday and was back at work on a Wednesday. After having the surgery, she started with the clear liquids and Jello, noting she hates Jello with a laugh. She then went to the cream soup and has had her first band adjustment since the surgery.
To date she has lost about 13 pounds and says she feels better. "I'm not starving and I'm not real hungry at all," Pam remarked. "I feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel to where I want to go." Pam adds she hasn't had pain and goes on walks and more.
Dieting for Pam really didn't work prior to Lap Band surgery, as she said she would get to a certain weight, gain the weight back, and then just about give up.
"You have to change and it is work, but I'm glad I did it and I would do it again," Pam remarked.
As for her visit with TopSurgeons, she said the staff has been great to work with and her daughter has also been a patient. "The doctors are informative and I really like it here," Pam said. "Everyone here has been really kind."
Pam says that anyone can do it if they want to do the work that is involved with this procedure.
She said her ultimate goal is to lose 50 to 60 pounds and Lap Band surgery has set Pam on that course to being happy once again with her weight.
