complication questions



Recommended Posts

I just received my approval from my insurance company today. I was excited and called my DH. He was not so excited. When I asked why the change . . . he said that he didn't think I would get the approval and he doesn't want me to go through with it. He says i'm fine the way I am. Very sweet to say but I am not comfortable in my own body and feel limited to what I can do physically. He said he is worried about the complications and risks. I tried to explain that I am having the lap band and not the bypass. I explained that the lap band is safer and has less risks. Does anyone know of any literature/websites that I can show him to support this?

thanks

The book published by the Lap Band people is the best one. It answer all of your questions. I have struggled with food and weight most of my life and I did a lot of research before I chose this process. As a matter of fact, I did just about everything I could on my own before I chose the band and now I wish I had done it ten years ago. If your problem is never feeling full and compulsive overeating (also known as emotional eating) then this band will really help with those. You still have to work it, explore your feelings and deal with life but he band is help we need. Smokers have help, drug addicts have help, gamblers have help, why can't people with food issues get help? It is often difficult for spouses to understand what people with food issues go through. Have patience with him, help him to understand what your real issues are and I'm sure you'll both get through this. The band is wonderful. I wish you the best of luck.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
