Why people and studies are so negative about lapband
alicelopes replied to alicelopes's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Carolina and Susan I do agree with both of you, you both made very good points. Bad news travels fast isn't it? Bad stories sell more! Thank you for all the support. And thank you for the remark. I will make sure I make my own success story! -

Bmi 30 - Am I Crazy To Be Thinking About This?

I have to a low bmi 31.9, and I'm going to surgery, I have struggled with my weight since I was 11. I am now 21 and I believe in prevention as I believe in cure. I don't want to be 31 and then wishing I done this surgery 10 years ago. I am a very motivated person but when dieting hard I seem to get stuck on 11st6 and it won't go down which is frustrating. I am 5ft1 and my 12st4 weight doesn't belong to me!!! I would though suggest that you are mentally prepared for the changes on your diet, because the band ain't a miracle but a tool. A tool that I need the help to succeed, and with my determination I know I will. In uk people with 30 bmi over are allowed this surgery but self pay. Hope you make the right decision for you

So I Got My Ban But...
alicelopes replied to ChiefNoHow's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My advise to you will be IGNORE IT! You doing this for yourself and nobody else. Do the people that said all this to you are going trough what you are? No. You more than anyone knows what you want. I find it as well that most of the comments like this are from people that are jealous that you going to loose weight. Believe me when I was on a diet people told me to stop because I would look ill if I was skinny, and I don't suit being skinny. Well they only are afraid we are making progress and looking better than them
