I was told that i needed to lose around 100 lbs. and need to keep it off. I have A-Fib and the doctor suggested I consider bariatric surgery. After checking out my options I decided lap-band was what I wanted to do. On March 9, 2012 before my surgery I weighed 331 lbs. Now 4 weeks after surgery I'm 291 lbs. My blood pressure medicine has been cut in half and I feel a lot better. Still haven't had a fill. Got out of the hospital on Tuesday at 10:30 and was back at work by noon. Didn't need any pain medication. My incisions are healing very well. Dr. Marley and his staff are greatest.
