By 30 years old and weighing 280 pounds Mary decided she needed a change. She has always fought with her weight and got an idea when her grandfather called her about Lap-Band Surgery. She decided to do research on the internet and found a out that having the surgery in Mexico was safe and could save her thousands of dollars.
In December 2005, Mary underwent Lap-Band surgery successfully and lost her excess weight. Nearly a year later, Mary had this to say:
I am almost to my year anniversary and have lost 110 lbs. I still have about 20 – 25 more to go. I can’t tell you how great my new life is. I am doing things that I would of NEVER done when I was fat.
