Hello Dear Lap Band Talk Members, As usual i have gone through my favorite resource as you see in my signature link... It's updated with the section Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery, Have you heard about this before if not go through it as it of any help. I think it's a new surgery that has been accepted for use in the United States. What do you think guys...

Traditional Lap-Band surgery usually involves five small incisions into the abdominal cavity. Most of these are no more than one to two inches in length. These are used for placement of cameras and surgical equipment. If necessary, a larger incision may be made, up to five or more inches in some cases. This is rare, as it usually only happens during a complication or if the Lap-Band is being placed during another procedure, such as a tubal ligation or other surgery. Thanks

Just visit your medical practitioner and follow what he/she suggested. And take full information about your surgery, cost, benefits, coverage and all. Thanks

Think about Lap Band Surgery. It's good. Furthermore it's good to discuss with your medical practitioner. Thanks

Dumping syndrome occurs when food enters the bloodstream too quickly. It is a common effect of gastric bypass surgery because the natural stomach outlet (pyloric valve) has been removed and food enters the small intestine more quickly. Gastric bypass patients commonly experience dumping syndrome after eating sweets or high-fat foods, eating too much food, or drinking fluids with meals. Think about it. Take more suggestions from your medical practitoner. Good luck with your decision. Cheers

As for as i am concerned, Nilesh A. Patel, MD, FACS, and Brent Bell, MD, are board-certified surgeons who specialize in weight loss surgery. Together, they have performed more than 2,500 successful bariatric surgeries. Their practice was recently featured in Newsweek magazine's showcase section as one of the top bariatric programs in the state. All the best...

Begin or resume an exercise program with which you are comfortable. Aerobic exercise can boost the rate at which you lose weight and get better your cardiovascular health. Talk to your medical doctor about starting a post op diet before you begin. Take the Vitamins and dietetic supplements recommended by your doctor.

I would like to add one most important thing...The Lap-Band is not a magic pill. You still have to work to lose weight. You have to watch what you eat, and you have to exercise. Take Care

As you might know that Smoking damages the lungs which increases the chance of surgical complications, anesthetic problems, and developing pneumonia after surgery. The best option which i know is QUIT SMOKING!!!!! Good Luck!

I have already mentioned in my signature. Its Informative. www.freelapbandsurgery.com

The Band is made of silicone rubber, and cannot be rejected. Of course it can become infected and require removal, but this is not the same as being rejected like a transplanted organ. Most surgeons use antibiotics to prevent infection, but rarely, some patients may develop an infection around the port site.

Lap band surgery failure is that you will will need to avoid sugary foods like candy as well as carbonated drinks (beer included), as they are of no nutritional value and truly destroy points your physique needs, for instance vitamins.

There are simple and tasty ingredients that can be added to meals and snacks to help with weight gain. Add butter, Use whole fat dairy products. Add dried fruit. Mix in nuts, such as cashews or almonds to salads, trail mixes or cottage cheese. Hope this will help you to gain your 40 BMI. Cheers

The purpose of a pre-surgery diet is to reduce body fat around the stomach and liver, as well as shrink the liver itself. If the liver is too large, the surgery may have to be postponed.

Use your rest of days to follow pre-op diet.

It is important to follow your surgeon's pre-surgery dietary and nutritional guidelines. Not only will your pre-surgery diet help prepare your body for surgery and improve the outcome. Thanks

Yes, some women maybe attracted to slightly chubby men, but most women are turned off sexually by overweight men. Most likely, she will think that you are lazy, is not bothered with your own health and that you are more than likely proned to obesity related diseases. If that is her perception, how do you think your chances will be if pitted against a healthy looking male counterpart for her attention? So if you want to attract women, the first thing to do is to start losing weight now.

That's great...Congratulations. Cheers

Wishing you all the best...Hope you recover very soon. Cheers! Thanks

When you've decided to have lap band surgery is the right choice for you and your weight loss goals, your Medical practitioner will put you on a fairly strict lap band pre-op diet to prepare your body for the surgery. Caloric Intake: a limited calorie intake of 800 to 1,200 calories per day liquid Diet: In the last week or two before surgery, you'll likely be asked to begin a liquid diet. Protein and Protein supplements: Protein will be an important part of your pre-op lap band surgery diet. In fact, you'll need to consume 70 to 120 grams of protein each day, as directed by your surgeon. Cheers!
