What’s Wrong With My Lap Band Diet?
☠carolinagirl☠ replied to Helen Bauzon's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
great article i think the majority of the people know what is wrong with their (diet).. they seem to be hung up on (i am on a diet) .......i blame that on the past diets we all most likely did...over and over with the same results....lose, gain and lose and gain until we sought medical intervention.....i think many people also just eat the wrong things (easy, processed, fried, high calorie) in amounts their body cant burn off and it turns into fat.....that is what happened to me.....i do not diet..i eat what i like....but i take and am responsible for what i do eat and make better choices....sure i divert off path but am right back on it......and then some who have a WLS to help them just dont.... we have to make the choice to do the best we can with what we have (or dont have) and then do it without saying what am i doing wrong and start saying i am doing GREAT ... -

Washington State Survey FYI
☠carolinagirl☠ replied to 2muchfun's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
the band has helped me lose over 160 pounds i am forever thankful/grateful..and i happily tell people that the band works..if anything was to happen due to complications, i would remain forever grateful to what the band has given me back.....mobility and my life and me being able to walk WITH my granddaughter. i am a happy woman.....i will always wish anyone who has any WLS the best of luck...as we all should.... (complications or not). -

PLEASE rethink surgery! it's cancer causing, do the reasearch! :(
☠carolinagirl☠ replied to harringm13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
any and all WLS can and do have complications and some can live long lives with no issues what so ever (i hope that is me)…..but we all (who had WLS) signed paperwork (and hopefully read) the issues that can/could/does/doesnt happen…..its major surgery just because something happens to who who doesnt mean it will happen to know know -

Hard time deciding on band or sleeve.
☠carolinagirl☠ replied to Owl1212's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i was well over 300+ pounds and had the lap band and plication.. my dr wanted me to have the bypass but i was too scared..to much reading BS on the world wide web.....but my dr stressed to me that no matter what weight loss surgery i got.....that unless i changed what i ate....and begin to exercise, nothing would help me......with any WLS, those more compliant can lose more...my dr advises that in each seminar he gives. any major surgery has risks...that includes WLS...best of luck in whatever you do decide to get. -
