My new life started December 27, 2011, the day I had my lap band surgery with Dr. Bagnato and his team. Before surgery I weighed 298 lbs. I started gaining weight after I got married and had children. I had been on every kind of diet under the sun. I was so heavy I couldn’t even cross my legs or tie my own shoes. I had knee pain and had trouble even walking without feeling winded or tired. I was told by my doctor that if I didn’t do something soon I would become a diabetic. I have never lost as much or felt as healthy as I have with my lap band surgery. Today I weigh 175 lbs. and have never felt better. I can do things that I couldn’t do even when I was in my 30s. I’d recommend lap band for anyone who wants life changing results. It hasn’t always been easy but it has always been well worth it and I would do it over again in a second. Thank you Dr. Bagnato and team for changing my life and health.
