Can someone explain "restriction" to me?
Helen Bauzon replied to Cliffnotes's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
One of the biggest mis-understandings or hope to achieve post weight loss surgery, is that the surgery will force the individual to stop on a certain amount of food, or restrict the. This is not the goal of surgery long term. Short term sure, swelling can provide false sense of restriction. However surgery has a stretch factor. If it is helpful for you, I have created a 20min master class video comparing all surgeries and how to get the most out of each surgery regrading appetite and portion support control. The following link will help you watch the video https://helen-bauzon1.aweb.page/p/776a1a9a-fd05-4851-a838-208a39db2975 Feel free to clarify any questions -
Has anyone every switched surgeon's?
Helen Bauzon replied to LMorales's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Are you able to share what the surgeons said was ok and others said was not ok by any chance? Curiosity has gotten the better of me. I could possibly help you also address these discrepancies,, as I have over 20years consulting lifestyle and mindset management for weight loss surgery. -
That is so exciting. Congratulations

Feeling like blah unmotivated impatient this lap band crap is confusing
Helen Bauzon replied to Shey Ronix's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Correct, you need to start eating solid food to maxmise the effect of the band. 6cc in 10cc band is a good amount, should ideally be in or close to the green zone. I have created a 20min master class video that will help you in your journey if you would like to take a look at https://helen-bauzon1.aweb.page/p/d4ff1c92-6d88-4860-bd57-cc44aaa50e3a -
Food issues from one day to the next
Helen Bauzon replied to GwenG1960's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi Guys There is certainly some clear explanations that can help you. It is quite an answer, t help I have developed a 20min master class video which will certainly answer your queries. The link is following https://helen-bauzon1.aweb.page/p/d4ff1c92-6d88-4860-bd57-cc44aaa50e3a Please take a look and then feel free to ask any question to clarify I find the biggest issue, is that most people actually forget how the band works, this may sounds odd. The band does not create a small stomach but rather a 30ml funnel. -

Dumping or lactose intolerance?
Helen Bauzon replied to Courtney*'s topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
It sounds like this is a lactose issue. Cheese iso very low in lactose and yohurt has bacteria to support the digestions, so it often poses little or no problem. After surgery you may also consider general IBS issues, if you experienced ay of these after surgery also, could be causing some issues. The good old food diary is key to track everything. Good luck -
13 years later and - I Love my band
Helen Bauzon replied to TakinThePlunge's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
If the surgery is working, leaving it be if it isn't broken I say. Well done -
I agree, it is likely head hunger also. A few other things you can look at is to ensure you are managing your physical hun ger with the sleeve as much as possible. Please consider the following the options: (1) eat solid food that needs chewing, helps to reduce hunger (2) 50% meals are protein based, of a solid form also to help reduce hunger (3) Be well nourished with nutrition have a shake with extra protein powder and a MV for weight loss surgery (4) avoid looking for fullness Hope that helps Helen

Your band is far too tight. Yes swelling can result after each adjustment but this is unreasonable. When the band is so tight it becomes very temperamental to fluid changes in the body, stress and time of the day to mention a few that can make the band tightness vary so much each day. Hope that helps
-
I would consider a few things in the following order: (1) check to ensure your band is in the green zone (2) ensure you are eating to maximize the effect of the band to control portions and appetite (3) highlight and recognise the core things in your lifestyle that may need to be looked at, such as non hungry eating, food types, fasting, activity levels, stress levels Hope that helps as a start
