June 08, 2012 changed my life. That was 100 lbs. ago, and the day I had my Lap-Band surgery with Dr. Bagnato. My post-surgery recovery was uneventful and basically pain free (with the exception of some gas pain from the laparoscopic procedure). Weight loss has been steady and averaging 1-2 lbs. per week. My diabetes prescription has been discontinued, and my blood pressure medication has been cut in half! However, the best part is just how great I feel – at sixty years of age I have regained the “pep in my step” and a zest for life. The difference in me is amazing, just ask my family! My daughter and son-in-law have also had Lap-Band surgery as a result of my great results.
