Trouble finding a surgeon for 72 year old.
pickles123 replied to eNana's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am glad to hear that you got your band. You must have really wanted it to work all this time trying to get it. Good Luck!! -
Would you get the band if you had a chance have a "do over"

You are not suppose to eat soft foods with the lap band. You are suppose to eat regular food!! -

No offense; but, would you expect your doctor to say anything negative against the band. If you think eating Jello, cottage cheese, yogurt etc would cure what is the problem with her band you have not done near enough research. You need to do a lot more research before you get the band if you think that is the problem. You are not getting how the band works at all. -

No I would not have the lap-band if I had to do it over. I have lost most all the weight but I am not a fan of the lap-band. For me it is still a diet. I lost more on Weight Watchers. I just hope the lap-band helps me keep if off. I have had the band for about 1 1/2 years. But, I do have to say I would not have any of the other WLS either. I think I would just keep doing Weight Watchers. -

Will they let me get the lap band
pickles123 replied to hopetolose's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
There is a new ruling out there that lowers the BMI to qualify for lapband. The only reason I know is that my doctor was part of the process (study) and he e-mailed his patients about it. Good luck!!! I don't think you will have a problem.. -
Cabbage does sound great. I have put sauce over other roasted vegetables; but, never thought of using cabbage. Thanks for the suggestion!!!

Anyone have to have a third band replacement?
pickles123 replied to Char's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Please find a new doctor and don't do any more surgery with this one. You need someone that can help you if you need it, no matter which surgery you decide. -
POLL: Did you lose your hair?
pickles123 replied to vega1star's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Yes I lost a lot of hair. Thankfully I have a lot of hair to lose. But I had to have a repair at 9 months and lost hair again. I have had other surgeries any never lost hair. I don't know why we do with the band. The dermatologist recommended Biotin. I take it but don't know that it helps. My hair is growing back after the second surgery now so I have three lengths of hair.
