LAP-BAND System Patient: Robin

“Here’s what my life was like. Pick up three 40Kg bags of dog food; strap them to your body. Then try walking. It was difficult to even bend down to pick up my little girl.”

“Now, I have the energy to play with my children and am comforted to know I’ll be around when they grow up.”

LAP-BAND System Patient: Sondra

“I spent most of my marriage being ill. I thought I was going to die young. Diabetes, asthma, hypertension— I had it all. I took 32 pills a day. I never wore a dress—I wore a tent.”

“Now I’m down to 9 pills a day, I’m a size 10 and I’m going to live long enough to enjoy it.”

LAP-BAND System Patient: Frank

“My weight was killing me—but I was constantly hungry. Nothing helped.”

“I was in the hospital for a day, and I haven’t been hungry since.”
