No I go to talk to my Doctor about it tomorrow. I was all set to get my labs all done so I could go get the Gastric Sleeve, when I started having 2nd thoughts & now I'm thinking the Band might be a better option for me. Well That's why I'm going to talk to the doc tomorrow. I completed a 12 week course, but that taught more about gastric sleeve & by-pass & the band was not mentioned too much. for the most part, I suppose the class did teach many of the other things that will help me with the band as well.

I can imagine at 1st being upset on how you cant finish that yummy plate of food....? You wanna keep eating because its so tasty but you just cant or know better than to keep eating. Or does that not really happen much?

Interesting motivator to not eat too much..

You wanna scare your self even more?!?!?! Ask your doctor not a bunch of know it alls on the net that have been scaring you already as you stated. :smile2:

:smile2: OMG! Why would you do that to your self!

Your scaring me.... I'm just going to talk to the doc tomorrow. I can imagine though how you'll notice everything food around you.

If you can stick to the Atkins diet & not cheat while on it, you will lose the weight very fast. Its always been my fastest way of losing weight & without working out. I started mine 12 days ago & lost 10 pounds so far & yes I did cheat a little should of been more like 15 lbs if I would of not cheated. :smile2:

& maybe some gravy. LOL!

Tomorrow I go back to see my WLS doctor & this time we're gonna talk Lap Band.. I'm told its completely different then what I was taught in my 12 week class....? I guess I'll find out tomorrow at 10:30 am.

I'm new to learning about the Lap Band. & this sounds like a two week pre surgery diet they put you on for some reason right? & then I've heard about 6 weeks of healing before you can start to eat anything close to real food is this correct?
