Jana: LAP-BAND Surgery

After having weight issues for my whole life, I was banded 10/26/12 at a weight of 240 pounds. It was the BEST DECISION that I have ever made. In 9 months, I have lost 80 pounds and am wearing a size 6/8 for the first time in years. I feel years younger and have lots of energy! This tool has given me the guidance that I needed to finally lose the weight. The support that I received from Dr. Bagnato, his staff, and the Bariatric Center staff is amazing. Now several of my friends are preparing to have Lap Band too. I am so excited for them.
