I decided to have the Lap Band surgery
because I´ve been struggling with weight almost all my life, and I was
afraid that this would become a hazard to my life, (mostly because there
is diabetic, high cholesterol and sleep apnea running in my family) also
because I´m going to have surgery on my right ankle.
After losing and regaining weight with diets, I realized that I couldn´t
lose all this weight on my own, (I weight 222.66 lb), this is why I
started to look on the internet other options I had to overcome my
weight problem. My regular doctor recommended me to have the Lap Band
and he also recommended me to go with Dr. Ramos-Kelly because among
other things he is a professor as well as a proctor for the Gastric
Band.
I had my surgery on March 13, 2009 at the INT Hospital, it´s a very
clean hospital and the care couldn´t be better. He has a bilingual staff
that would help you in anything you need and you know that there is
somebody there for you. Dr. Ramos-Kelly has so much experience and good
bedside manners; he explained me all the surgery step by step and
cleared all my questions, I would totally recommend him to everyone that
is interested on having this type of surgery, my experience with this
doctor is the best I could have.
