Hello, I am Angel Tobias.  I have been battling with my weight for the 5 past years.  I have done diets, pills, and join a gym.  My PCP told me that he could not do much more for me because we had exhausted all my options.  He told me to talk to a surgeon about weight loss surgery.  I told him no and that I was not a weak person.  I always felt that people that did surgery for weight loss was an easy way out.  I had many friends that had gastric bypass.  I was not ready for that.  One day at work I was not able to recongize the women in the mirror any more.  I noticed that I was sad alot of the time.  I talked to a co-work that had the bypass and asked her who she recommended for the surgery so I could talk to him.  I saw Dr. Ramiro Cavazos and he made me felt at ease.  He was very informative about the lapband procedure, I was impressed.  I went home and talked to my husband about the surgery and I knew I needed to have the surgery.  My PCP's office sent me my lab work from my last visit with him and my liver enzymes were very high.  I knew that I needed to loose weight or my health would get worse and I wanted to be happy again.  I told the doctor I wanted the sugery and 4 months later I had the surgery.  I feel great!!!  My family is eating better and I smile more often.
