“What can I say about my band?”  I would have lap-band surgery again in a heart beat!

It has changed my life in so many wonderful ways. When I talked with Dr. Bagnato is April 2008 and he told me that I was morbidly obese I knew that I had to do something. As I was nearing 40 I knew that I wanted to live long enough to see my children grow up. Lap band is not a quick fix, it is a tool that helped me achieve a life style change.  My friends can’t believe the new me and sometimes have to do a double take. Lap band gave me my life back and the energy to enjoy it.
