This is not an improvised or preplanned video about Lap-band weight loss surgery. Cynthia volunteered to do this spontaneously when everyone in one of Dr. Simpson's support group meetings was offered the opportunity to do a video for Dr. Simpson. Cynthia goes into great depth about her decision process in her choice of Lap-band surgery. She will tell you about accepting herself as being an overweight person only to find out that health problems were beginning to consume her. This video is from her heart.
NOTICE: The lap band is considered major surgery, with all the risks of surgery, including the possibility of tubing breaks, port flips, band slips, erosion, and even death. While these risks are small, they are real.
