“When I first had the LAP-BAND® in 2007 it worked pretty well. I followed the rules and lost 75 pounds. As time went on, it became harder and harder to not get food stuck. My eating habits became worse (carbs and soft foods were easier to keep down) and I regained 35 pounds.

After talking with Dr. Oliak and Allison, I decided to have the gastric bypass. Finally, after 40 years of “yo-yo dieting” I feel in control of my body thanks to my gastric bypass surgery. I no longer feel consumed with worry and guilt about food. I’m finally free to just enjoy life!”
