How I Lost Weight
The past few months I've been struggling with extreme fatigue and some weight loss. I just couldn't figure it out. I just chalked it up to my busy life wearing me down. About a month ago I decided to head to the doctors because I thought I had an ear infection. She told me that there was no ear infection. It was only my allergies totally out of control. I figured since I was at her office I'd mention my fatigue. She ran some blood work and low and behold my results came back that I was mildly anemic. On top of the anemia, I was also fighting some type of infection in my body. My white blood cells were elevated. My doctor ended up putting me on 20 days of antibiotics and it's really done wonders. I'm starting to feel like my old self again. I'm so very happy!! My doctor suspects that I've been fighting a sinus infection. The only positive thing that's come out of of my health issue is that I've lost about six need pounds. I guess I didn't need those weight loss pills after all.

One Single Positive Step Can Change Your Life Forever
A few years ago my husband's uncle decided to have the lap band surgery. He was grossly obese and it was affecting his quality of life as well as his health. The surgery was a success and the weight just seemed to melt off. My husband and I went to a family reunion a few months after his surgery and I literally didn't recognize him. He was a completely new man. I was interested in the lap band surgery not because I was grossly obese but only to satisfy my own curiosity. I came across a medical institution that really seems to cater to people with extreme weight problems. They specialize in bariatric medicine which is the surgical treatment for the disease of obesity. Yes, believe it our not obesity is a disease. I was really impressed by what I read on their web site. The lap band surgery is the safest surgery of it's kind and the only surgery that is totally reversible. This company walks you through every step of your surgery. From helping you decide if the lap band is the right option for you to finding a lap-band surgeon. This website also offers a member forum, nutrition guidance, recipes and they even have a support group. If your interested in the lap Band surgery this might be the place for you. Just think one single positive step could change your life forever.
