“I’m 33 years old and have three children who are my world. They are the reason for my mission to transform myself. I couldn’t stand to go anywhere in public and had no energy to play with my children. I knew I had to do something! I had LAP-BAND surgery in January 2008 and have lost 161 pounds. I can honestly say that now, I really do enjoy my life!”

“In 2001 I weighed over 350 pounds. My life had become a struggle. It was difficult to move around. I had sleep apnea and suffered from several other obesity related conditions. I had gastric bypass in and have maintained a weight loss of 170 pounds. My life is very different now that I no longer carry the weight of an additional person on my back. My feed and ankles don’t hurt, I can fit comfortably in an airplane seat and I look forward to activities I used to avoid. Even though my surgery was over 8 years ago, I still receive continuing support from everyone at CHRIAS. They are fabulous!”

“I had gastric bypass surgery for several reasons. It started when I had back surgery in 2003 and could no longer exercise as much as I had. Then I was told that my stomach wasn’t emptying properly, then I was diagnosed with GERD. Most of all I could no longer tie my shoes or have quality family time with my wife and daughters because I was in so much pain. I tried Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers but nothing worked. In 2008 I started my weight loss surgery journey. I could not have done this without the help of everyone at CHRIAS.”
Tyralyn Taylor
LAP-BAND with Dr. Peters in Delaware
Lost 102 lbs
I struggled with my weight since I was a teenager. Always going up and down, joining clubs/gyms, weight watchers, etc. I finally decided to have Lap Band done because I started to develop health problems (high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, back and leg aches) not to mention that weight kept going up. I felt that the Lap Band was better a chance because it was not a permanent change to the body and it would provide portion control, which I felt I desperately needed. It was the best choice I ever made. My heaviest weight pre-surgery was 242 lb and now I’m down to 140 lbs. I’ve maintained my loss for about 3 years now. Dr. Peters and staff are fantastic. They genuinely want you to succeed. They are there to provide you support during your journey. Now I enjoy life, feel great, no longer have any health problems, can actually fit on amusement rides, and it’s really fun going to buy clothes from regular stores and they fit!
Sarita Banning
LAP-BAND with Dr. Peters in Delaware
I love my life now! I chose to have the Lap Band surgery because I wanted a life, a real life! A life where I felt free; free to go into any department store and chose any dress that I desired. Free to do fun and exciting things with my husband and children.
I have always been a very confident and outgoing person but this surgery has made me even more confident and, most importantly, my health is excellent. The only drug that I am currently taking is a natural drug and it is called LIFE!
Thank you so much Dr. Peters and Dr. Irgau for changing my life and those around me for the better.

Michael Wells
Lost 100 lbs
I had been overweight most of my life. I had lost weight several times before only to always gain it all back (plus some extra). I had my weight loss surgery in August 2007 and have lost more than 100 pounds and have kept it off. I am more active than I have ever been and actually enjoy exercising now. Weight loss surgery is the tool that helped me lose the weight and more importantly helping me keep it off.
Rick Murray
LAP-BAND in Delaware
Before my surgery I weighed 294 pounds and was taking 11 different medications to treat high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, joint pain and a hernia. Today I take 4 medications including one the doctors want you to take for 6 months post op to ward off gall stones which are possible with quick weight loss. I felt just plain lousy and knew it was time to take back my health. I made the decision to have Lap Band surgery in late 2007. After the pre testing, my surgery was set for June 2, 2008. My weight at pre surgery was 293 pounds.
Today just over 5 months later I weigh 231 pounds with my goal weight to be 210 - 215 pounds. My hernia was repaired during surgery and the very first benefit I experience, or I should say my wife experienced, was I had stopped snoring that very night. The next benefit was after I lost 28 pounds I no longer needed diabetes medicine. With my sugar in check and healthy eating habits, I continued to stop other medications under my doctor’s supervision. I anticipate stopping some more medications with the results of upcoming blood work. I feel great and have never looked back. This is life changing and the best decision I have ever made in my life.

Lost 128 lbs
My family inspired me to have the surgery. I can now walk, run and play with my kids. I am able to buy more fashionable clothes and I am no longer on cholesterol, diabetes or hypertension medications. I have lost a total of 128 lbs since my surgery Aug 2008. I feel GREAT and I would do this again in a heartbeat!
