When Stephnie M. came to TopSurgeons, she was seeking an answer. Her answer would come in the form of Lap Band surgery .

Stephnie had the procedure done a few months back and has already completed her third lap band adjustment. As Stephnie sees it, the Lap Band surgery was the best thing that ever happened to her.

"I tried different weight loss plans, but the weight kept coming back," Stephnie remarked. "I think at first I was thinking that's crazy that someone would want to do it (Lap Band surgery). Looking back, I have no regrets whatsoever."

Now in her post-Lap Band surgery period, Stephnie says that she can eat many of the same foods she did before, but she simply eats them in fewer quantities these days, as she gets full much quicker than in the past. Stephnie even points out that when she goes out to eat, she will sometimes order kid's meals or just appetizers, but that is fine with her.

According to Stephnie, her problem in the past with eating was not knowing when to stop. Not only does she now know when to stop, but she adds that she definitely chews her food better these days following the surgery.

Since having the surgery last summer, Stephnie has lost some 25 pounds and hopes to lose some more. "It (weight loss) goes slow, but I think that is better," Stephnie commented. She said that her goal is to lose another 40 pounds over this year.

When asked about the efforts of the staff at TopSurgeons, Stephnie said the doctors and staff have been excellent to her.

"They are very knowledgeable about the procedure and if my doctor is not available, he will call me right back," Stephnie said. "I appreciate that everyone there has helped me."

Now that Stephnie and many others like her have been helped, what are you waiting for in the fight against weight loss?
