Wow! What a life changing experience this has been! Not only do I feel much better, but I am also full of energy. I have a lap now! I can fit in any chair, with extra room!!! I can go to a store to buy clothes and not have to order them. I know you can relate to this if you are contemplating surgery. BUT, we have to do our part to make this all happen. Surgery is just a tool to help us. We must make a lifestyle change. Eat the CORRECT amounts of food and EXERCISE! Don’t slack up on this part. I know it’s the hardest at first but it does get much better. BELIEVE ME!! I HATED to exercise but actually, it’s not so bad now. “I can’t believe I’m saying that.” Make time for YOU! You won’t regret it!
Having gastric bypass surgery has made my life healthier and happier. Before the surgery I would stay in the house ashamed to go on dates with my husband or even go to any school functions with my children. Now we go on dates every weekend with or without friends, I'm out playing sports with my children, and I have so much energy to workout six days a week. The day I went to have gastric bypass I was wearing a size 32 and almost a year and a half later I'm wearing a size 14. The only regret I have about the surgery is I should have done it years ago. I am the happiest I have been in years.
Having the LAP-BAND surgery was the best decision I have made in my life. Not only has it resolved my obesity related health issues but it has also enhanced my quality of life. It does so much for your self esteem to do things with your family and friends that you were unable to do because of being obese. Dr. Bauman and his staff at his office and CMC NE Medical center are first class, they have treated me and my wife like family. I appreciate their professionalism and their dedication to quality care. This has been a very positive experience for me, I only wish I had this surgery years earlier. Thanks CWLS!
Jody had an adjustable gastric band (LAP-BAND) procedure in August of 2007 performed by Carolinas Weight Loss Surgery Center. Since then, she has lost 105lbs!
