    October Bandsters?

    Where is everyone having there surgery
  3. The LAGB is most appropriate for patients whose BMI is less than 50. The lower the BMI initially (35-49) and the closer patients are to being only 100 pounds over their ideal body weight has the most success in my experience. The other category which does well with a LAGB are the “big” meal eaters. This means they aren’t snackers and don’t graze on junk food all day and night until they go to bed, but instead tend to eat meats and vegetables three times a day but in large quantities or amounts. This group tends to do well with any Restrictive Procedure. Patients who tend to do poorly with the LAGB are patients with a “sweet tooth” who frequently eat ice cream, candy, cookies and simple carbohydrates like potatoes, bread, rice and pasta; or patients who graze all day by eating small handfuls of nuts, chips and other convenience and junk foods. They never over eat and feel full or vomit so they get no benefit from the band, but there is a steady stream of calories through out the day which add up quickly. Keep in mind you must reduce your intake to 1200 calories or less and it can be done and you be satisfied if you make better food choices after Restrictive Operations like the LAGB.
