Hi, my name is "ishi" and I'm a Patient
Facilitator for Be Lite Weight. I had Lap
Band Surgery on 7/31/03. At 4'11" and
225lbs, I was about as big around as I was
tall!
I have lost hundreds of pounds in my
lifetime and gained them all back with
'friends' ! My journey back to a healthier,
happier "me" started the day I decided to
investigate further this "new" procedure
called "Lap Band Surgery". I hoped it would
change my life...and it did...more than I
imagined! I lost over 100lbs and have
managed to maintain it for over 2 years now! |

I'm 63 years old, and the proud 'grandma' of
3 active, little girls! I remember what it was like to
live life as an obese person. I felt the stares from the
medical community I lived in, being married to a surgeon
for 28 years. And I remember the unpleasant comments
from students where I taught high school for 10 years.
It was time to get my priorities straight, and I began
the long search that led me to the decision that Lap
Band Surgery was the least invasive procedure out there.
It's reversible, adjustable, and has the shortest
recovery time of any weight loss surgery on the market!
They say "the best you can do for someone is what you
mean to them". And as a Patient Facilitator, it's my job
to make sure you have the same wonderful experience that
I had. I want to make everything run as smoothly as
possible for you and share your successes and concerns
before and after your surgery. It's so rewarding to
watch my patients take steps towards a healthier life,
knowing that I've been a part of their journey.
