Cold laser therapy

[DesertRose 0]

I've been doing some research on the benefits of cold laser therapy (not to be confused with laser surgery) in snuffing out sugar addictions. My husband had it to quit smoking. Anywhoooo... the receptionist at the clinic told me she had 3 treatments for her sugar addiction and hasn't touched anything sweet since her first treatment a month ago. She even passed up her all time favorite, Baskin Robbins ice cream. My concern is: could it be harmful to my band? None of the information I have found would indicate so. It won't do much good to ask my fill doctor, surgeon, etc. because they would tell me I should let the lapband do it's job, etc. However, no amount of restriction is going to stop the sugar cravings, of which there are many for me.

Has anyone heard of this and have you heard whether it could be harmful to an internal foreign object in the body, such as the band?

You can read about it on Wikipedia: Low level laser therapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Low-level therapy uses cold (subthermal) laser light energy to direct bio-stimulative light energy to the body's cells without injuring or damaging them in the process.
