“It was a struggle deciding whether or not to have this surgery done. I went to my family doctor to discuss it and have him talk me out of it, but when he walked in the room he said it was about time I do something about my weight. I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, borderline diabetes and knee problems. I was concerned about not being around for my family and seeing my grandkids grow up. I thought about wanting to travel after I retire, and now I am able to do those things. I have lost 90 pounds and kept it off. There has never been a day that I regretted having the Lap Band surgery. This is the greatest thing I have ever done short of marrying my lovely wife.”
