I’ve struggled with my weight since I was a kid. I tried all sorts of diets, exercise regimes, and nothing ever worked long term. After having my son I realized I had to get healthy for myself and more importantly for him. This needed to be a real change that was going to stick.

I researched all sorts of surgical options and decided on lap band. I had the surgery in October of 2015 at 324 pounds, it’s now June 2017 and I am currently at 219 pounds. The information given to me prior to surgery really opened my eyes and changed my mindset about weight loss. I no longer feel like I’m punishing myself by eating a salad rather than a cheeseburger.

Healthy eating seems comes naturally now and I and I have so much more energy. I feel great and know the weight loss will continue to come. Dr. Bagnato and his staff are wonderful, the support after surgery is beyond amazing and I couldn’t be more thankful for them! This was, hands down, the best decision I have ever made for myself and my family.
