ObestityHelp Magazine

Anyone here subscribe to the ObestityHelp Magazine? Do they talk about lap banding and not just RNY?

If it's anything like the OH website, it would be just about worthless to us bandsters.

I've only read it in the waiting room at my dog's ... maybe they should be called "weighting" rooms at bariatric clinics?... Anyway, it was all RNY stuff, nothing useful for me, as far as I could tell.

Oh, there was one article that talked about the psychological impacts of losing weight, but there again, the focus was on the impact of losing really fast.

Margo,

I got a subscription to that magazine also and I find its one of those you can read through really quick. If you want I will send you the mag after I have read it, that way we both dont have to waste the money for it. Let me know, I will be happy to get it over to you one way or another.

I subscribed to it when I was first banded, it is for bypass people, not us. Thank God we have this website for info and support.

Thanks, j.s. I wouldn't mind taking a look at it! Are you planning on going to the next support meeting? If you are (and I hope so!), you could just bring it along then.

OB is worthless as far as I can tell. But my doc send everyone there. I am going to see him tomorrow and am going to tell him about LBT.....

A LBT mag would be great but I already have too many irons in the fire. But i would be willing to help.

OH has a band board, but they really don't advertise it enough. I haven't read the magazine, but if you are ANYWHERE other than the lapband board, EVERYTHING is bypass.
