Bandlandia Announces Second Annual Lap-Band Weight Loss Surgery Giveaway!

Posted on: Tuesday, 18 January 2005, 12:00 CST

Bandlandia, the country's only full service aftercare program for lap-band weight loss announces second annual Lap-Band giveaway in Dallas, and launches the Houston market with another life saving giveaway.

Still relatively new in the United States, the minimally invasive Inamed Lap-Band is the only reversible and adjustable alternative to more drastic weight loss surgeries - surgeries that are becoming widely known as life threatening risks to long-term health. The Dallas based Bandlandia has guided over 400 morbidly obese patients through the surgical process since forming in late 2003. Seeing a lack of real aftercare for patients going through the critical post surgery months led the company to launch it's highly effective and unique program.

Bandlandia CEO Cynthia Jones, an FDA trial patient who lost over 200 pounds with the Lap-Band and has maintained a healthy weight for almost four years commented on the contest: "Being based in Texas, home to several of the most obesity-stricken cities in the country has been a revelation to our company. More doctors and insurance companies need to open their eyes to the benefits of this life-saving program. We are thrilled to have to opportunity to do this contest for the second year in a row."

The contest will run from January 17, 2005 through the end of January and is open to anyone who is 100 pounds or more overweight. Qualified applicants can enter online at Bandlandia.com, Kluv.com, or in the Click2Win section of Click2Houston.com. Bandlandia can also be reached at 972-438-8833 or toll free at 1-888-744-2263 for more information on the Lap-Band surgery and the contest.
