Hello, my name is JoAnne and I am the founder of Beliteweight. I was banded in 2001, lost nearly 100 pounds in one year and have successfully maintained my weight-loss for the past 4+ years (A feat never before accomplished… at least by me!)
                  
Over the past three years my Beliteweight Team have assisted over 2500 patients through the process of obtaining Lap Band Surgery. Through these years I have had the pleasure of sharing the joy of others who have dramatically altered their lives. The successes achieved have not only included a reduction in weight but many varied “non-scale” victories. I am particularly happy to hear when health issues that were once very worrisome have improved or disappeared altogether.
                  
The stories the patients share are heartwarming; the ability to play actively with their children, to fit in an airline seat, to comfortably tie their shoes are just a few of the many “non-scale” victories experienced. Each person in their own way measures and treasures the success of their weight loss journey.
