Dr. Naim performed the Lap Band surgery on me several years ago. To this day...I've kept off 95 lbs and still going strong. I wouldn't have traded that experience for anything.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought I would even consider this procedure!!! I never had fat/overweight problem, I was total athlete & happy growing up, but trauma that took my activity away began my problems with gaining weight & food/bad eating habits.
