Elizabeth

Elizabeth Slough says the decision to have Gastric Band Surgery is the best decision she has ever made for herself.

"I had tried multiple weight loss attempts in the past, but all had failed. I knew I had to do something, and so I turned to surgery as an option."

She had surgery on July 17, 2007 and has lost 120 pounds since surgery. With enthusiasm, she says, "I will have to admit that the weight loss is nice; however, I have received so much more from this surgery.

Before surgery I was pre-diabetic and had borderline hypertension. I can gladly say that I am no longer facing these health risks. I also have more energy; my new-found energy has allowed me to do so many things that I would never have dreamed of doing before."

Elizabeth is now able to exercise, play with her niece, and even go to the grocery store without tiring. She says she is more outgoing and feels much better about who she is as a person.
"This surgery and weight loss journey has completely changed my life! I have no regrets, it truly is the best decision I have ever made!"
