"I had my (Laproscopic Gastric Band) and surgery with Dr. Andrew Agos in early December of 2005. Since that time, I have lost a little over 70 pounds, according to my bathroom scale. I have only needed one "fill" and the Band is working wonders for me. The (Weight Management) staff has always been very supportive and understanding of my needs. Their guidance has helped me live a healthier, happier life."

"I cannot praise the (Weight Management) program enough. My new nickname is the 'incredible shrinking man at work.' My weight has dropped from over 200 pounds to a slim 154. My pants' waist size has dropped from 42 to 31. For the first time in my life, I heard the phrase 'you are a handsome man' by women, and not 'you are a beached whale.' So what more do you want me to say besides—why didn't I do this sooner? Keep up the program!"

"I had my surgery about 3 months ago now. I've lost 40 pounds since my first weigh-in. I chose Swedish Covenant Hospital's (Weight Management) program for several reasons. First, I was impressed by the information made available on the Web site. It allowed the user to access pertinent information on the procedures offered, surgeons' qualifications, dietitian and meeting information, as well as various tools and links to other useful Web sites. By far, your Web site surpassed your competitors' sites. There was no place that I wanted to go other than Swedish Covenant. I made an appointment with the Weight to Go staff. Everyone has been very courteous, prompt and enthusiastic. I was and am very impressed by the personnel."
