My Journey began many years ago in grade school. As I got older I tried so many diet and  lost count. My niece had the lap band surgery and did very well. In May 2009 I saw Dr. Bagnato and had the surgery. My highest know weight was 248 pounds, I was wearing a size 18 in pants and XL top. I was faithful to the sugar buster’s diet and lost 105 pounds. Now I am a size 6 in pants and a medium top. I did not have a fill for 7 years. I would encourage anyone that needs help with weight and health to check the lap band out. I am a success!
