So is knowing that UCSD Medical Center has the region’s most experienced Lap Band surgery team.
What prompted Anneke Terpstra-Feller to do something
about her obesity? In her own words, “I didn’t want to be
that mom who was too fat to fit on the rides at the
amusement park.”
Having had enough of fad diets and their roller coaster
weight changes, Anneke attended a seminar on the
Lap Band® procedure at UCSD Medical Center. She knew
immediately–this minimally invasive surgery with its
gradual, healthy weight loss was for her. With help from
her surgeon, a pioneer in the Lap Band procedure, Anneke
has discovered a way to reach her goal of losing 100
pounds–not to mention the power of academic medicine.
