Lap band surgery can help save your life if you are obese and/or cannot lose weight on your own. Did you know that? Well, it can.

Mom has a friend who had lab band surgery, and it really did save her life. She was not obese–yet! She just could not lose weight no matter what she tried. She was ready to give up when someone told her about a procedure that might help her. This procedure, called lap band for weight loss, really was something that made her life worth living again. As it stood at that time, her health was going nowhere but down, and she was ready to give up and die of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart attack, or a combination of them.

So, with nothing to lose (except weight) and everything to gain (except weight), she made an appointment with her doctor. He recommended a specialist. She went to see the recommended surgeon. He explained that he would do a laparoscopic procedure, and that means no cutting; therefore, no stitches or staples. He performed the lap band procedure within two weeks.

It has been almost a year since that day, and she has lost 46 pounds, but she still has 50 pounds to lose. Of course, the surgeon sees her every two weeks to make sure she is in good health and in good spirits.

If you call 1-800-GET-SLIM, you will get excellent advice on how this procedure can help you, too.

My mom helped me write this.
