Tony: LAP-BAND Success

Posted: Dec 30 in Patient Results by

I was 200 lbs when my wife and I were married 27 years ago. In the last 6 years I have added over 200 lbs making a total of 478lbs, which is not good for anyone’s health and I found this out the hard way. I was having trouble breathing and I could not walk short distances with out the feeling of exhaustion. I slept all the time, due to my being so tired having to haul around the extra weight and from being depressed. I know my heart, lungs and all other organs had to work so hard just to function because my health was deteriorating.

Losing Weight with Lap Band on the Road

Posted: Dec 16 in Gastric Band Blog by

Following your Lap Band operation you will need to follow a number of dietary requirements in order to stay healthy and progress towards your weight loss goal. These requirements include a variety of simple habits that your weight loss surgeon will explain to you prior to your stomach banding in Columbus, and many of these habits will feel like second nature over time. However, at some point after your operation you will likely begin to travel—whether on vacation with your family or on business trips, and then you will need to transfer these habits to stay healthy on the road.

Doing Abdominal Crunches after Lap Band Surgery

Posted: Dec 08 in Gastric Band Blog by

Getting a Lap Band or undergoing other weight reduction surgeries in Columbus will help you lose weight, but it is still important that you exercise after the operation in order to facilitate weight loss. One important exercise is abdominal crunches, which will help tone your lower abdominal muscles, improve the strength of your core and improve the appearance of your abdomen. However, crunches must be done properly to prevent complications developing as a result of your Lap Band surgery.

Adrian: LAP-BAND Surgery

Posted: Oct 31 in Patient Results by

I want to take a moment to thank Dr. Bagnato and staff for giving me my life back! 1 year ago I was a 32 year old on 17 different pills for Diabetes, Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, Sleep Disorder, Arthritis, Depression, Anxiety, Mood Disorder, ADD, Chronic Back Pain, Thyroid Disease, etc. The only medication I take now is for fluid. I am down 36.5lbs, down 17 pills, and down from a 22/24 to a 16. I still can’t believe I got me and my daughter in my size 20 jeans. I look and feel great! I can walk without getting pain in my chest, I can sleep without a c-pap machine, and I have so much energy which I need to take care of my 3 small children. My singing has improved since the weight has come off as well. I feel like I have literally been given my life back. Both me and my family! I believed in the lap band and now too, believe in myself.
