  • 7 Apr 2012

I have a barriage of medical problems. Every body movement was painful and my doctors told me this would also eliminate reoccurring rashes and sores. It has truly stopped my rashes and pains. I thank GOD for this dr. and his staff being so caring . I consider them to be a niche above the rest.

Great review?

I have a very large stomach apron that appears to be causing me much pain, i am 5' and 268 lbs, when i sit or stand i have a tremendous amount of pain in my very lower stomach area under where the stomach hangs, it causes a lot of pressure in my lower area, groin area, and my legs ache, if I try to hold my belly up the pain seems to get better or seems like it would if all that skin wasn't there. I have had this for the last 15-20 yrs but the pain just got worse in the last 5 yrs and its difficult to walk, breath or move around. when I walk I want to just die. what is causing this and is there anything I can do? I want to lose weight, but it is impossible for me to exercise, I know if this abdominal pannus was gone I could walk, and do all kind of exercise. iI also have the constant urge to pee all the time. Respectfully Yours, Cher Blanco

I had the lap band surgery almost 3 yrs ago and some other medical problems kept me in constant pain. It has changed my life and I look forward to things getting better.
