Success Story – Wendy

The LAP-BAND® gave me a restart button on life!”

I have been overweight all of my life. It has caused a number of medical issues including thyroid cancer. So when my oncologist suggested I try gastric bypass surgery, I immediately looked into it. However, after going through the initial steps, I quickly realized it was not for me.

After my first appoint with Dr. Lee, I knew that he was just as committed to my success as I was and decided that the LAP-BAND® was the perfect tool to give me a restart button on my life.

Sixty pounds into my weight-loss journey I took a detour to get pregnant. The LAP-BAND® was completely safe throughout my pregnancy and nine months later, after the birth of my beautiful, healthy daughter, I was back on track and ready to reach my goal of being fit and forty!
