Debating on the Band



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

Quick intro to me. I am a OR RN & have actually done the lap band procedure as a circulating nurse. I was amazed at how fast it's done. I also feel that I should add, no surgery is risk free, or minor. With that being said, I've had lasix surgery and that was my eyes...sooooo

I am researching this subject hard. I am going for individual counseling session next tuesday, the 15th, but did it already couple of years ago. What I wonder is, does the bad help with food addiction? You know cravings... if my weight up's & downs were just hunger related I don't think I'd be considering it. Upon self reflection I realize i don't wan to stop eating cause food tastes so good.... and consumes my thoughts, ESPECIALLY if I'm on a diet! lol

Well, I'm tired of being consumed mentally, emotionally and physically with food, weight and dieting... Yall's thoughts?

Anybody in same boat?

Lets face it. There isnt one BIG person in the world who doesnt dream about ebing somewhat at a regular weight. I was on that same boat before you. I was a compulsive and addictive eater. Therefor my weight gain was at a fast pace. The lap band however CHANGED MY LIFE. After getting the lapband i realized what real living was. I saw the weight coming off and i got more and more motivated. If you do choose to do it. you will see how your food addiction will turn into a LIFE ADDICTION. you will because addited to the new lifestyle and how GREAT it makes you feel.

GOOD LUCK with your decision.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
