Before	After

This past year has been amazing! I've gone from a size 18 to a size 8. I can bend over to tie my shoes and take a walk with my daughters without gasping for breath. My heart no longer beats out of my chest because I over exert myself walking up a flight of stairs. When my cardiologist first recommended the adjustable gastric band, I wasn't sure I would qualify. Due to health problems, I did. Now I am healthier and enjoying life for the first time in years. I no longer feel like the "fat mom" and I am not embarrassed to be seen at the pool with my daughters. If I continue doing well, my cardiologist will reduce or discontinue my blood pressure and heart medications. This procedure is one of the best things I have ever done. It has definitely improved my life. Dr.Teel and the staff at PMBA are wonderful!

Before	After

I had Roux-en-y Gastric Bypass 7/30/07 and my life was forever changed. I had been heavy most of my adult life. From the time I married in 1975, until I had surgery, I had continually gained weight. By the time I had surgery, I weighed almost 300 pounds. I had diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I had quit doing things I enjoyed because of low self esteem and lack of energy and mobility that they required. I had talked to a friend about her husband's surgery and she gave me Dr. Maguire's name. I decided to go forward after my husband and I attended an information session. I lost 143 pounds! Even now it seems hard to believe. My health has improved 100% and I no longer take any medication. My diabetes is GONE! I actually looke forward to walking and riding a bicycle and playing with my grandchildren. I thank Dr. Maguire and his staff for their professionalism and for never making me feel less of person because of the weight.
