Patient Success Stories

Jordan's Story

Jordan is one of the lucky ones. Late in his teens, Jordan realized that his weight problem was not going to go away on its own and that he would have to take immediate action if he wanted to live a healthy life. His father had successfully undergone gastric bypass a few years prior, and Jordan decided that it was his best option for losing weight. Overweight since middle school, Jordan topped 310 pounds when we had lap band surgery on December 17, 2008.

Jordan now weighs a healthy 168 pounds for his 5’8” frame. He is thrilled with his weight loss and attributes his results to making regular exercise a part of his lifestyle. He works out at the gym 3-5 times per week, walks and does other activities in addition to following the diet. A college student, Jordan is slated to graduating in one year and is looking forward to a bright future.
