For the past five years and as soon as I reached the age of 40, my weight went crazy, pounds started accumulating one after the other, and then I decided I should do something, since a year ago, I started suffering of High Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure and High Triglycerides, my social life dissapeared and since I have only working and living a very sad life, I knew it was time to do something when about 8 months ago I met with a friend from my childhood whom happened to be a very good cardiologist in my country of birth (I forgot I was born and grew up in Dominican Republic), after many years of not seen each other, my friend got surprised about my weight gain, and told me about Lap Band and the benefits of loosing weight, she put me in contact with Dr. Joseph Manuel Ramirez Kubicek, whom  happened to be a very sweet, considerate Doctor whom happened to be the head of Laparoscopic Department of Corazones Unidos Hospital in The City of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.  Here is his web site for futher references http://drjosephramirez.com/index_eng.html.  I hope mine would be a successful journey and wish I can count with many friends from this site for support and tips.
