I have always been overweight and dieted since I was in Junior High School. I kept reading about the different types of weight loss surgery and my husband and I really liked lab band because of it was less risky with my other medical problems. I started going to the Bariatric Clinic in October of 2008. I went thru a class on lab band, met with the nutrionist and I kept seeing someone for six months. After I had been in the program for six months then they set me up to meet with the surgeon and I chose Dr. Soosaar. I had to loose a certain percentage of my weight before he would do the surgery so it took another 2 months and I had my surgery on June 8, 2009 as of today I have lost 56lbs. At first the weight just come off but know is the time I start exercising more and start eating three little meals a day and healthy snacks if I need to. I feel so good about the weight I have lost I feel 100% better. I would do it again if I had to.
