 In
June of 2003, Lara weighted 267pounds. By June 2004 she
weighed 145 pounds, gaining herself a new lease on
life.
Lara's
weight loss began with a lap-band procedure. Determined to
have the body she felt she should have, Lara worked off
over 120 pounds. The lap-band procedure helped her along
the way by aiding her control when eating - making her
feel full sooner and longer.

Soon Lara had
managed to work off the weight she wanted to.
While excited about her weight loss, she was
unhappy with the excess skin that resulted. To
tighten up the excess, and give herself the final
touch for her new look, Lara underwent a full
abdominoplasty, thighplasty and brachioplasty (for
tightening the skin on the arms).
"Yes,
it's really hard to believe that this is really
me. I look at this now and still don't believe I
looked like this..."

It
took only one short year for Lara to go from a size
22 to a size 6. When all was said and done, Lara
achieved not only a significant weight reduction and
healthier body, but also a restored harmony between
the way she feels on the inside and the way she
looks on the outside.
"I
always thought that I was someone else, someone
thinner. Finally, that is true." |
