Gary C. - Gastric Band Success Story
My life was a constant struggle with my weight. I tried every diet or gimmick in the book but nothing worked. I would lose some weight but always put it back on plus some extra. I was absolutely miserable. My health was deteriorating to the point my sleep apnea was so bad I was on oxygen.
Making the Decision
My brother had decided to have the Lap Band surgery and did very well with it. After visiting him I was so impressed with his results and his new lifestyle that when we got back I started checking around different Hospitals that offered the Lap Band Surgery. I happened to talk to a friend of mine at church about her weight loss and she told me about Barix Clinics and how impressed she was with them and how much they understood what being obese was like. I called and made an appointment for a consult. I too was impressed and I had no doubt I wanted the Lap Band Surgery so I started the process.
How My Life Has Changed
My life has done a complete turn around to where I am now LOVING LIFE and LOVING ME! I have lost 217lbs.* I enjoy exercising each day pain free in my joints. My blood pressure is normal and I am now officially free of Sleep Apnea which has even amazed my doctors. When I first started to exercise I couldn't even walk around the block or do one lap in the pool but slowly I built myself up to where I am today. I can do all the things I have wanted to do like golf, bowl, swim, go to a ball game and sit comfortably in the seat, or just play with my grandchildren. I am definitely enjoying my life each and every day.
To Those Considering Bariatric Surgery
Having the Weight Loss Surgery was the best decision I could of made. Having it done at Barix Clinics was the next best decision I made. I could not of been more pleased with the care I received at the Clinic before, during, and after my surgery. The staff made sure I knew what my instructions were once I got home and made sure I knew who to call if I needed anything. I had to change a lot of bad habits in my life. I was so fortunate to have my wife Linda who was my rock throughout the whole process and supports me still today with my maintenance plan.
If you're tired of setting yourself up for failure with diets and gimmicks, call your Barix Clinic and let them explain how they can help you take control of your life and you too can start enjoying a new healthy lifestyle.
