You can watch youtube for info also. From what I have saw if you do as your dr.s say, eat right and work out you will lose.

I have not had any surgery yet but I hope to do so by the middle of 2013.

I am thinking about the lap band surgery

The first step in educating yourself about the Lapband surgery is to register for a weight loss seminar and attend. You can do this by searching 'bariatric surgeons' in your area. By asking questions and listening to the surgeons, this will give you plenty of information hands on. If you are just curious, you can read through the threads on this forum of what people are saying about it, looking at their weight loss history, journey, etc. You can also 'google' lapband surgery. There is so much knowledge out there about it..

Best of luck,

Yes, do the lap band really work

If you work with the band it will work with you. I have lost 210 lbs in 23 months thanks to the band and my determination to succeed by eating correct portions, making healthy choices and changing my lifestyle all togeher.

Good luck.

The band helps you feel full with smaller portions. You have to choose healthy food and you have to exercise. When you follow the rules the band does its job! I have lost 58 lbs in 4 months.

      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.
