Michelle had LAP-BAND surgery in June 2008. So far she has lost 100 pounds.
Wow! What a journey this has been! June 16th, 2008 Dr. Felts performed the Lap Band procedure on me. The day after surgery I already reduced my insulin intake by 70%!
With the help of the Lap Band I was able to lose 114 pounds by my 1 year anniversary! I have also kept the weight off! For me the Lap Band turned out to be a great weight loss tool and helped me live the healthy life I have always wanted. I struggled with losing weight after having my kids and the lap band was essential in making this weight loss achievable.
I went from size 22 to a size 8! I feel GREAT! Exercising was also a huge factor in losing the weight fast and also in maintaining my weight loss.
I thank my family, friends, Dr. Felts, Karen, Mary, and Miriam in their continued support and encouragement through the whole process. Thanks to all of you for your help in this glorious journey I have taken to get my life back!
Michelle

You are a true inspiration to me..and when i get down i always look at your picture. We never met but i remember you were in the waiting room my very first visit to dr. felt's office. I said wow, that lady is really beautiful and i bet she was never heavy a day in her life. Now i see that you also were a big girl.
