Hi Greg,. 1) it doesn't get rid of your "head" hunger or grazing habits because those are not physical eating habits. It does get rid of your hunger between meals. I stay full 4-5 hrs with only eating a cup of food.2) here are some foods that I can no longer eat, some are healthy like fresh pineapple, kiwi, soft breads (I have to toast my bread) I can only eat 1/2 of one slice. 3) I like the fact that I don't have to weigh my food, count calories or eat special foods. I just have to eat tiny bites and chew chew chew! Lapband is a slow weightloss, i know people who have been on 18 mos trying to lose the weight. The bypass seems to happen much quicker and you don't have to worry about food getting stuck. Sometimes with the band a piece of food will get stuck and OMG it hurts so badly, sometimes for days. read my blog if you like, i wrote the whole experience.

Hi My name is Greg from Metairie. I am thinking about lap-band or RNY gastric bypass and am going in for a counsel June 10 at Ochsner. I want to know the down side of this surgery or any difficulties you may want to share. I see almost nothing but success stories (great job!) but no down sides??? Im from here and will DEFINITLY miss the huge portions... but life is life... and Im loving it with my wife... and want to stay on this Earth for as long as possible.
BTW - Our family is off to Hawaii as well in September.
