Three lose 300 pounds after lap band surgery in Mexico

Audria Harrington and her brothers Jeff and Rodrick Hogg made a resolution in 2008 to shed their unwanted weight as a team. They all had lap band surgery in Mexico at Hospital Angeles.

Audria says” We each had our lap band surgery the last day of February 2008, and reached our combined goal of 300 pounds in eight months. We have now lost 325 pounds. I lost 85, Jeff lost 110, and Rodrick lost 130. We are each going for another 40 to 50 pounds to get to our ideal weight.”
