I have battled with my weight for the majority of my life. I started dieting when I was just 10 years old. I was also a dancer for fourteen years and as soon as I quit, I really started putting it on. As my activity level dwindled, my weight started to rise. I have had five knee surgeries in the past ten years. I was 30 years old and getting ready to get married. I knew I would hate looking the way I did in my wedding pictures much less for the rest of my life. I decided to have the lap band procedure done because it is less invasive and safer for women who are planning on having children after. I just celebrated my 1 year anniversary of my surgery and I am 108 pounds lighter and still counting. I only have 18 pounds to go before I reach my goal. I was also married in November and loved the way I looked in my wedding dress. I never thought I would no longer be the big girl. Now I feel better than I have in years. I have more energy than I thought possible. I love going shopping now and don't have to go to "special" stores to buy my clothes. I can shop with my friends now, at the same stores! Dr.K and his staff have been excellent. I would recommend him to anyone looking into this surgery. They really care about patients and their success.

Thanks for everything!
