For as long as I can remember, I have been on a diet. Cabbage soup, cookies, starvation – nothing ever seemed enough or made me want to stay on it long term. Just over a year ago, I discovered the LapBand and my weight loss has almost been ‘effortless.’

Don’t get me wrong – your food choices and your lifestyle have to change but the Band really does help you make those choices. At 5’2′ and starting out at a size 22, I am now down to a size 6 and have discovered that I actually have a waist! It’s been so long since I saw it I didn’t think I had one anymore!

You can feel the excitement that Dr. Cywes, Jody, Dana, Candace, and the rest of the staff have in helping their patients succeed in their journey. It would be an understatement to say that Dr. Cywes and the LapBand have given me back my passion for life!
