Lap Band surgery 3/16/09
Lost 51 pounds
When I decided to undergo Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band surgery, I had reached a point where my weight was influencing just about every aspect of my life. Although I was not obese my entire life I did struggle daily with my obsession with food and body image.
Diets, I have tried them all. Weight Watchers, Atkins, grapefruit…then there was starvations, over the counter diet pills and then prescribed diet pills. Finally, after amassing an array of weight related disorders high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and diabetes I knew I had to do something to stop the spiraling bad health. I met with Dr. Huerta and went over my options and in March of 2009, I underwent Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band surgery. I like instant gratification, not a pretty trait I possess but I do. I wanted to be thin right away. The weight loss has been continuous. Not fast, but constant. I have lost 45 pounds and should reach my goal in the first year.
I can not say enough for the great care and compassion shown from the whole team at Solutions Dr. Huerta gave me a new lease on life. The operation and the care that was given, was unsurpassed. I had committed to undergo the surgery; I only wish I had done so much earlier. The surgery and every aspect of recovery were discussed by Dr. Huerta and the Solutions team. I found it amazing that people could care so much for a total stranger. The whole experience was a pleasant one.
