Pam: LAP-BAND Success
Posted: Apr 18 in Success Stories by admin
About 2 years ago I was faced with an incredible dilemma. I was totally unhappy. I did not feel good physically with daily aches and pains just from getting out of bed. I had no energy to meet the demands of being a mother, a wife or a friend. Emotionally, I had very low self-esteem; I was tempermental and detached from my husband. I was working in a very stressful and demanding position as a Nurse Manager. My week was extremely busy with juggling work, husband, and raising two kids. In addition to all of the weekly pressures I was also more than 100 pounds overweight.

For years I tried every diet imaginable and have gone to multiple doctors. I had high blood pressure and the last straw was when I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I have two young girls and it was at that point that I realized if I did not do something I would not be able to fulfill my role as their mother. This Lap-Band surgery has given me my life back. I am able to fit on rides with my family and I am able to keep up with them. Thanks to Dr. Cywes and staff. God bless you all.

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.
