April 19, 2006 changed my life forever. This is the date of my Lap-Band® surgery. My entire experience with Dr. Kirshenbaum and his staff has been nothing but positive. There are no judgments placed upon you, no guilt that you don't have enough "will power", only a helping hand.
You must be ready for this change in your life, but if you've been there and done that with every diet on the planet, this is the next step for you. From your first appointment, through your surgery and all the follow-up, Dr. Kirshenbaum and his staff will give you all the support and guidance that you will need.
As of my 18 month anniversary, I was down to 249, 180 lbs gone and start weight at 429. I have lost 20 inches from my waist. I'm on the cusp of wearing a 2XL, I'm in a 54L suit down from a 66L. Life is good! I could never have imagined the incredible life changes that have happened to me since the surgery. You will never make a more important decision in your life!
