"Getting a Lap-Band was the best thing I ever did for my health."

"I am no longer invisible, less than, or defined by my weight." I was one of those people that had genetics against me.

Hannah | Banded at 12 yrs old * Results may vary
What the band has done for me...hmm. I can think of many things that it has done for me. But some things that really changed my life are: Lap-Band surgery let me live an actual "teenager" life. It has helped me play my sports easier without having to take heavy gasps by just walking down the field. It has changed my life in ways I can't explain. I end up thinking every night about how it has changed my life. I actually bought my first two-piece bathing suit last month. The band has showed me a healthier way of life. Thank you for everything and making that major decision to let a [then] 12 year-old girl get this chance of a lifetime. - Hannah
