I had the lap band surgery in Oct '05 and have currently lost 106 lbs. I had my Lap-Band on a Tuesday and went back to work Thursday. Dr. Collier and his staff have been wonderful and very supportive during the entire process. His encouragement and persistence about exercise and eating well have helped make it work. I work in a cardiologist's office and I'm constantly telling patients with weight related heart problems to see Dr. Collier.

I have gone from a size 22 jeans to a 10. I feel better than I have ever felt and believe this surgery has not only changed my life but actually "saved" my life.
