No Shave November for Men’s Health
This movement is an effort to promote Men’s Health initiatives like the fight against prostate and testicular cancers and supporting mental health and su***de prevention programs. This movement was established in 2003 and millions of funds have been raised since then. The general idea of this month is that men will go without shaving for a month. Mustaches are distinctive and inevitable conversation starters. So, by growing one, it is the chance for conversation to advocate, educate and invite people to donate and raise awareness for men’s health.

Rebecca has lost more than 100 lbs. with Lap Band!! "It has been just over 3 years since I made the best decision of my life. Lap Band has not only helped me to get healthy but also gave me confidence and love myself again. My goal was to lose 100 pounds. In 3 years I did it plus some. I am a preschool teacher and getting on and off the floor numerous times a day was difficult, Now, I am able to not only do this with ease but enjoy the time with the kiddos and not be in constant discomfort, because I am on the floor with them. I no longer take daily OTC pain relievers, as I no longer have constant body aches. I used to avoid the camera, especially full body pictures. Now, I willingly and confidently will get my picture taken. I am finally comfortable in my own skin. First picture is before surgery (not even at my biggest) second picture was 2 years in, 15 pounds from goal and last picture is most recent, 5 pounds beyond my goal weight!" Congratulations Rebecca! Thank you for sharing! 🥳🤩

Misti has lost 215 lbs.! "In 2004, I began my weight loss journey and research for doctors. I was at my all time heaviest at 360 lbs. I had two small children that could not enjoy their mother, because she was too big to do anything with them. I hated it for me and for them. I tried so many diets, fasts, diet pills, and failed miserably at all. The Lap Band was a tool to hold me accountable and try to stay on track. It was what I saw as safest and best for me. I found Dr. Olsofka through an internet search. I called, attended his program, and committed to the Lap band. I have been successful throughout my journey with hard work and dedication." Congratulations Misti! 🙌💪🥳🤩

Christine has lost 120 lbs.!! "I heard about the Lap Band procedure (specifically Dr. Lusco) from a co-worker who had celebrated a milestone of 100 lbs. weight loss! I began to ask questions and made my appt. with LapBand of Louisville. Dr. Lusco was transparent and honest with me. He asked me open ended questions and provoked thought and had me reflect on the WHY I wanted to do this procedure. It wasn’t because I wanted to be skinny…. I am an older parent and wanted a quality of life with my children. To be able to do sports with them and not sidelined because of my health ~~ that I could be the power of change… and not an excuse. I have competed at the Winter World Masters Games in Italy 2024. I am grateful at 61." Wow! Impressive! Thank you Christine for sharing! 🤩💪

Edith lost 147 lbs.!! "I began my weight loss journey 8/1/2007. My heaviest weight was 322 lbs. I was on 3 blood pressure meds. Today, I only take one. I currently weigh 174.9 lbs. I can eat pretty much anything I want, just not much of it. But the thing is to make good choices when I eat. Mostly grilled and air fried foods for me. I'm no poster child, but if you are thinking of having the surgery, DO IT!! It's a tool, just use it to your advantage." Congratulations Edith!! 🥳🙌🤩

Ceece is all smiles with Lap Band! "Me before and after lap band. I just wanted to see the difference myself, and baaaby, I definitely do now. It’s not what others think or say. It’s all about you and your journey. So it hasn’t even been a year since my procedure. I still have about a month to go for that milestone. I’m blessed and happy I did this. Still a ways to go, so the work isn’t complete. I hope this helps someone and finds you joy as it did for me surgery on 11/11/23." Congratulations Ceece!! 🤩🥳🙌

Lisa has lost over 100 lbs.!! "My Lap Band journey began 16 years ago. I had the surgery in October 2008. I did fairly well, losing about 70 pounds initially. After awhile I just quit using the band and gave up. All the weight plus more came back.
Fast forward to February of '23. I needed hernia surgery and went back to see Dr. Lusco. He performed the surgery. At my follow-up appointment he asked me why I wasn't using my band. I didn't have a good answer. All I knew was that I was miserable. I didn't have the energy to do anything. Dr. Lusco said that I could just start using the Lap Band again. Just start 'following the rules'.
He likened it to buying tools to repair your deck. You start to repair it but then stop and lay the tools down. But the good news is that you can pick them right back up!
That month I followed the Lap Band rules and lost 10 pounds. I had hope again, but I knew it was going to be a long, hard journey. I weighed over 250 pounds.
Since having the Lap Band I've lost over 100 pounds!! But I've gained SO much more. I've gained energy. I've gained the ability to play with my grandchildren instead of sitting on the sidelines. I've gained better health. I am walking 45 minutes a day. I'm hiking and taking line dancing classes! I am enjoying life.
And after 5 years of being a widow, I've found love again and married in July 2024!
If you've given up or have gained some weight back, I encourage you to visit your doctor and pick your tools back up!" WOW!! Thank you so much for sharing your weight loss journey, Lisa! 🤩🥳💪🙌
