All my life I have struggled with my weight. I would go on a diet, lose the weight, but just as soon as I went off my diet all the weight would come back (and more)! After years of this ‘Yo-yo’ dieting, I started to have high blood pressure, diabetes, and very high cholesterol. My diabetes was way out of control, and at 5’4 and 211 lbs. my health was in real danger. On November 28, 2012 I got my Lap-Band, and today I weight 150lbs. Now I do not take any medication for anything; no more insulin, no more pills. I want to thank Dr. Bagnato for helping me get to my goal weight, and for saving my health!
