Michelle LAP-BAND Results LAP-BAND Results
Dr. Felts placed my Lap-Band in March of 2008. I was 270 plus pounds. By December 2008, I weighed 155 pounds. I couldn't believe I was at goal in nine months. I laugh when people tell me, "You did it the easy way" because losing weight isn't easy no matter how you do it until you change your life style too. Dr. Felts gave me the tool I needed to be successful. I am grateful for his care and compassion during this process.
My whole life people always told me, "You're so pretty, but if you would just lose some weight." Well, I have done that except I did it to be able to play with my boys and be alive when they are grown. This weight loss has allowed me to coach and referee real soccer games because I can actually run up and down the field.
The day my oldest son came up to me and put his arms all the way around me and grabbed his opposite elbows, I vowed to make the LAP-BAND work for life.

I have known Michelle since she was 7 years old. I am so proud of her accomplishments!! She has struggled with her weight most of those years and she has always been beautiful to me no matter how much she weighed, but I am so happy that she has overcome this huge obstacle in her life.

Michelle, you are such an inspiration! I know how hard you push yourself and as a result you've become a role model for tons of people and especially your boys. I think you are such a great mom to make lifestyle changes so you can continue to be actively involved in their lives. You totally rock!
