LAP-BAND®
Going into surgery, I weighed approximately 227 lbs. It was very tough being at that weight and it had a big impact on my social life. I wouldn’t even go out with my friends or family, it was a struggle for me. It took my self-esteem. It was very difficult for me to function in a social manner. I didn’t feel like I fit in. When I moved to California, I decided “New life,” and that’s what I did when I decided to have the LAP-BAND® surgery done. I saw my results in approximately two weeks, immediately after the surgery I could just feel it. I felt great. I found the recovery to be very quick. I presently weigh 150 lbs. and have lost approximately 80 lbs. I used to be a 22-24, the clothes were just not big enough. Now, I’m a size 8 or a 6, and I love it! My lifestyle has changed immensely. I hike, I ride bikes, I go to the gym as much as possible. I just really enjoy not having the weight but most of all it’s not difficult. With all the weight off, it’s so easy. After seeing my results, I would definitely come back and do it again. I don’t know what took me so long!*

Sleeve Gastrectomy
At my heaviest weight before surgery, I was 262 lbs. I thought a lot about surgery primarily because of my family, my daughter. I thought, “How am I ever going to teach her good habits about eating and taking care of herself?” I decided that I needed to move forward with the surgery. Dr. Naim really took the time to explain each surgery, what it could entail, what I could expect as far as results. I had the gastric sleeve surgery after lots of research and consideration. I had surgery on November 13, 2014 and it was probably one of the best days of my life. I started seeing results pretty quickly, within the first week or two. My current weight is 188 and that means I’ve lost about 68 lbs. in about five months. There have been so many benefits since having the surgery. You look good, you feel good. But more than that, I have more energy to run around with my daughter and play. I feel more comfortable and confident in myself. This is by far one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Without a doubt, I would do it all over again.*

LAP-BAND®
At my highest weight, I was 370 lbs. It kept me away from a lot of people, family events. I couldn’t wear pants, I was limited to dresses that I had to buy online. I was very uncomfortable in everything that I wore at that size. I was tired of being unhealthy and uncomfortable. I knew I had to do something drastic to change everything that I was, so I chose the LAP-BAND® for my weight loss surgery. It helped control cravings, my food intake, and a month after the surgery that I started seeing results. I lost 20 lbs. my first month and I’ve lost 120 lbs. since my procedure. It feels great to have lost so much weight. I can actually see something that someone else is wearing, go look for it and put it on. There’s so much more that I’m able to do since the surgery. I have so much more energy and I’m able to work out with friends. I’m more open and more social. Dr. Naim made me feel very comfortable and motivated. I would definitely do the procedure again, in a heartbeat.*

Sleeve Gastrectomy
I struggled with my weight for the majority of my life. Before my surgery, I was very uncomfortable and felt overwhelmed with myself. I have two toddlers and I wanted to be able to keep up with them, enjoy life and be happy. I knew at that point I needed to change my life. I needed to do it for me, for my kids, to get my life back. After a lot of research and talking with the doctor, I decided to go with the gastric sleeve surgery. It was the best choice for me and my lifestyle. Recovery time was very minimal for me. It was about a week before I was up and going with my kids and I saw results fairly quickly after the surgery. Within the first month I was down 30 lbs. My goal weight was 140 lbs. and I actually reached that before the year. I’ve lost a total of 90 lbs. and it’s only been about 11 months. I’m down to a size medium or small and the difference in my confidence level is extreme. The surgery has changed my life for the better for so many reasons. My relationship with my husband is so much more open. Another big one is definitely playing around with my kids, being able to be active. They’re growing up and I just want to enjoy every part with them.*
