For years I tried every diet imaginable and have gone to multiple doctors. I had high blood pressure and the last straw was when I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I have two young girls and it was at that point that I realized if I did not do something I would not be able to fulfill my role as their mother. This Lap-Band surgery has given me my life back. I am able to fit on rides with my family and I am able to keep up with them. Thanks to Dr. Cywes and staff. God bless you all.
