Andrea: LAP-BAND Surgery

Posted: Sep 29 in Patient Results by

I have battled being overweight since my mid-twenties. Sure, I tried every diet out there. Weight Watchers, Nutri System, Quick Weight Loss, Protein Power, Atkins…you name it, I tried it! I would lose 20 pounds…then gain 30. Lose 10…gain 20… until my weight was totally out of control. I stopped looking in the mirror and I started making daily excuses. I kept telling myself, “I am perfectly healthy. I don’t have high blood pressure (well not really)…and I don’t have diabetes (not yet)….I am happy, so who cares what I look like? I’ve got three kids, I need to focus on them right now….I will worry about me…later”.

Robbie: LAP-BAND Surgery

Posted: Sep 01 in Patient Results by

I don’t plan on passing away any time soon, but if I do I know it won’t be from being overweight thanks to Dr. Bagnato. I have been over weight most of my life, I started to think that there was no other way for me. I tried every diet known to man and every diet pill that a doctor could prescribe. When I would do the low cal diets, I felt like I was still starved day after day, and you can only go so long just wanting to feel full. No matter what diet or pill I tried or how much weight I lost I would only sling shot right back plus 10 pounds.
