The Shocking Results of Lap Band Surgery

Our family goes to church regularly.  It is a neighborhood ritual and we enjoy not only the worship, but the community involvement.  There was a period there when both my daughter and I noticed that a few of our members looked like they were perhaps ill.  There were two men and a woman who all showed dramatic weight loss, as well as, hair loss, and basically did not look well.  Being a cancer patient, I worried that they were indeed going through chemo or some other debilitating treatment, but our church is so good about communication in helping those in need and we would have surely hear something.

Discreetly, we asked about one of the men and found that he had had lap band surgery.  It had never occurred to me that there was a common denominator in that all three of these individuals had been rather large... very large.  I admit that at first, I was concerned that someone would take such drastic measures to lose weight rather than the discipline of eating healthy and working out.  But I have never been over weight to this degree.

In time, all of these individuals have gained a healthy look about them.  Hair has come back in, strength has shown, but the weight has stayed off.  The transformation has been absolutely amazing and I am happy that they have found a healthier and more complimentary body image.  As always, we should never judge.
