Kyra
Switch from Lap Band to Gastric Sleeve.
Kyra has been on her weight loss journey for a number of years now. At 283 pounds in 2007, she had lap-band surgery and successfully dropped down to 157 pounds. However, after some discomfort in the years that followed, she made the decision to get the band removed — and subsequently found herself back at 242 pounds within a year.
Not willing to lose this battle, Kyra worked with the team at AtlantiCare and chose to have a gastric sleeve procedure in September 2012. Two years later, she was back at 160 pounds. She says her weight loss has given her a better quality of life. She feels more positive about her health and confident in her clothes.
