JOE PADALINO

Hello, my name is Joe
Padalino and I had Lap Band
surgery on May 23, 2006
when I had the Lap Band
procedure my start weight
was 310 pounds and today, I
weigh in at 200 pounds, a
total of 110 pound in less
than a year! I have tried
many diets and fads without
much success.

 
  One of my biggest issues is buying new clothes, before the operation, I could never find anything that fit and always felt down about how I looked and what people would say! I made sure the mirrors were something I would not have to look at. Now, I buy off the rack at any store and style is a new word in my vocabulary.

My friends and family hardly recognize me! After less than a year, I am healthier, have more energy, and am able to do things now, which were never possible being overweight. It wasn't until I met Richard S Wilkenfeld MD, that my life would change as I know it. I attended the recommended seminar, and before I knew it, I was watching the pounds fall off. My life has not been the same ever since. You must remember the
Lap Band procedure is a medical procedure; but when used properly in conjunction with personnel life style changes will do the same for you. I have learned portion control, how to eat a balanced meal, and began an exercise program. Good luck
to all of you!
