Chandra: LAP-BAND Surgery

Chandra LAP BAND Surgery

My name is Chandra and I have had my lap band since 2005. I decided to have Lap Band surgery after I had my child and my weight rose to an all-time high. At this weight I wasn’t able to do all the things I wanted to do with him. I had tried various diets with only short term success, and was always gaining the weight back. Deciding to have Lap Band surgery changed all of this, giving me more energy and confidence and an all-around healthier, happier lifestyle.

I lost 137 lbs. and 90% of my excess body weight and have kept the weight off for over 5 years now. My experience with lap band has not only changed my life but has allowed me to help others on this same journey.

Surgery date: March 18th, 2005

Before weight: 284     BMI: 48

Current weight: 147   BMI: 24

Total weight loss: 137

*Surgical weight loss results vary between individuals depending on initial weight, existing medical conditions and adherence to prescribed treatments. Speak to Dr. Bagnato about the results you can expect.
