Simply put, the LAP-BAND was the best thing that I have ever done for me! I have done the weight yo-yo since high school. Gaining a lot of weight after getting out of football, I started a diet were I lost enough weight to be happy. In just a few months after getting off the "diet" I would put the weight back on plus more, starting cycle over again.
This started at 165, then up to 190, 210, 235, 250, 263 then finally in July 2007, I hit the scales at 271lbs!!! When I hit this milestone, I had had enough. I decided that I either needed to stop this dieting stuff and just be fat and happy, or do something else. I was lucky in that I did not have any medical problems… YET! Some of the ladies at my job had done the LAP-BAND and were having good results.
Since my issue was not what I ate, but it was the amount I ate, I started doing the research and found Dr. Felts. After the initial consultations, I decided that the LAP-BAND was for me. Almost two years later I am under 200lbs, wearing pants that are 10 inches smaller in the waist, and feel great! The cool thing is never really being hungry anymore!
Thank you Dr. Felts!!
That has to be the worst smile of any of my pictures!
