Teresa's Success Story

Teresa was banded in February of 2008 as a 36-year-old wife and mother of two. She knows all too well the relationship between food and family and the pitfalls that come with gathering around the dinner table to celebrate practically any occasion. As a nurse practitioner, she also knows all too well the serious health risks that surround her obesity and metobolic disease.

Shortly after surgery, Teresa was blessed with the wonderful news that she was expecting her third child. Follow her blogs to see how easy it is to accomodate pregnancy after the LAP-BAND.
