“I can truly say, I am a new person. As somebody who has spent
much of my life on television, my weight issues have been public,
and I have struggled with my weight for years going up and down like a yo-yo.
Before Dr. Simpson performed my procedure, I was on blood pressure medication.
Now just four months post-surgery, I am off my blood pressure medicine and I
am just about to my goal weight. The best part is I’m keeping the weight off,
and I feel healthier and look better than I have in a very long time. My life
has changed, and the best part is that the procedure is so easy. I just wish
I would have done it sooner. The yo-yo is gone. Now I have the tool to maintain
my weight, and I am still enjoying food.”

“Losing weight has improved so much of our lives, both as a
couple and individually. We can do more, have more energy,
and feel as if we are ten years younger. Thank you Dr. Simpson!”

Pam
“For me life truly began at 50. The band is the tool that
allowed me to lose the weight and get out of my shell!
My quality of life is so much better now.”

Greg
“I’ve seen a lot of patients have the band,
both when I worked in the operating room and later
when Dr. Simpson hired me. So I took the step, and
now I understand how much better life can be, and
I love helping patients learn and understand how
to use the band!”

Vicki
“I can’t believe that in two months the
transformation? There are no surgeons in
New Mexico who do the LAP-BAND, and after
extensive research I found Dr. Simpson.
Even if there were someone local, Dr. Simpson
is worth the trip.”

Sherri
“Dr. Simpson did an excellent job! I was very surprised
at how quickly I recovered and how small the incisions were.
Seven months later I had lost 100 pounds and have truly regained
my life back. The band gives me the restriction that I need to
remind myself that I have eaten enough and the freedom to still
enjoy my food, just in smaller portions.”

Kristin
“I am young, healthy, and life begins again! I am so
glad the band could be used for me, not just for those
who have 100 pounds of weight to lose. I love it!”

Bill
Lost 150 lbs. “If ever anyone wanted to know what a
difference the LAP-BAND has made in my life—just look!”

Linda
“Before I had the band I couldn’t hike, I was house bound.
Now my husband can’t keep up with me. The band gave me my
life back.”

Stephanie
“When I started my weight loss journey I weighed 335 pounds,
was depressed and worried I would not live to see my two young sons
grow up. I found Dr Simpson on an online chat and just knew this
was the right doctor to help me become healthy again. I went to a seminar
and was so impressed with Dr Simpson and his staff. I had about 60
questions at my consult and Dr Simpson took the time to answer every
one of them, he was so personable. Dr Simpson has been there for me
every step of the journey. I had my surgery on August 12, 2002. I have
lost a total of 184 pounds and I am now happy, healthy and my kids have
a hard time keeping up with me! I never thought I would get to a size 6
in my life, but here I am. I am blessed to have Dr Simpson and his staff
who still are there for me with any questions I may have and they are my
continued cheerleaders. I consider this the best thing I could have ever
done in my life! Thanks you for giving me back my life Dr Simpson!”
