people keep telling me not to get lapband surgery because you put the weight back on again.

Can anyone tell me if this is true?

Also that you are still hungry?

it's only true if you don't do the lifestyle changes that go along with lap band

Yes Thank You but then what is the point I do not get it?

Why not just do the lifestyle changes and then you will loose weight regardless what is the point of spending all that money on the surgery? Am I missing something here?

I mean look at Carnie Wilson.

What does the surgery actually do for you.

Lap band helps with Portion Control and suppresses hunger.

For me it was hard to stick to the changes pre lap band.now I've had the band 7 weeks.and I can't over eat.I will get sick if I try.I could however eat ice-cream all day and gain weight but I think that's where " I spent all this money" comes in.but it not only helps with Portion Control it also stops u from feeling hungry by squeezing the nerves that send signals to ur brain that says ur hungry.but it is a TOOL not a magic bullet. I don't think most people are fat because they want to be,they need help to do what they are supposed to do.The lap band is that help.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
