My name is Kathy and this is a story about how I got my life back.
Let me start by explaining how I reached 275 pounds. Over a six month period, I lost both my brother and husband of 30 years. A few months later, I lost my mother. I went into a deep depression and gained more and more weight. Soon, I couldn’t walk very far and had trouble breathing because of all of the weight I had gained.
At the time I was seeking help, I was a 36-year-old morbidly obese single mother of two boys. I had multiple co-morbidities. My obesity started with my first pregnancy. At the beginning of my pregnancy I weigh approximately 180 pounds and at my height was still considered to be overweight. By the time I delivered my first child, I weighed 263 pounds. I only lost 20 lbs. after delivery.
My name is Betty and I am thrilled to have received a Lap-Band from Dr. Cywes. A year and a half ago I weighed 350 lbs. I was unhappy and unhealthy. Back then I wore a size 26 dress.
After watching my wife lose 80 pounds in about 6 months after her adjustable gastric banding surgery, I decided had to make a change. I was tipping the scales at over 375 pounds and acted as the most self confident individual you had ever met.
I can truly say that choosing Lap-Band surgery was the best decision of my life. In four short months my weight dropped from 216 lbs to 141 lbs.
