Gastric bypass surgery, December 23, 2002

I can’t say enough good things about the team at Lahey. I have not had to take a single pill or a single shot of insulin for diabetes since my surgery. In addition, my sleep apnea is gone and my cholesterol has been cut in half.

Gastric bypass surgery, March 24, 2003

I used to be unable to do anything without experiencing terrible pain. I couldn’t even go to the grocery store. I was taking up to seven different medications in one day—now I don’t take any. This surgery completely changed my life.

Gastric bypass surgery, January 14, 2004

I feel absolutely marvelous. The main reason I wanted the surgery was because my skeleton just couldn’t handle my weight—I didn’t want to end up with a walker. Now, I can go up and down the stairs, I can hike, and I can sit on the floor and play with my grandkids.

Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band Surgery (Lap-band), September 25, 2006

My whole life I struggled with my weight and the frustration of always gaining back what I lost. With the care and support of Lahey's Center for Surgical Weight Loss team, I was able to fulfill my lifelong dream to be a normal size. Now I can do things with my son and not be exhausted or embarrassed about my size. Lab-band surgery was the best decision I have ever made.
