When my mom quit smoking, she gained weight. Now, I don't think she's big but she does and I know how much she would like to change that. She might consider going to the kingwood lap band facility and see what they have to offer. Since she lives around Houston, this would be close for to check out. From what I understand, the environment is comfortable and they always put the patient first. This procedure is an in and out surgery so you get to rest in your home. If you're unhappy with your weight like me, then check this out and give it some consideration. I'm just glad she quit smoking;)
