Hi- I have been on a calorie restriction since I met with the doctor and the nutritionist to shrink my liver :wub: for Lapband surgery in September 2012, she wanted me to loose 10 lbs. I have been working out-the journey is hard-keep it up.!

Well, Think of it this way every medical procedures has a pros and cons and so does medications. Your on your way to a better health and a better you! Good luck

No oatmeal and no SP for me

Hello, Your doctor who is doing the surgery usually has a list of mental health professionals who they usually use with their patients. Call your doctors office and see if they have any suggestions. Good luck, I will be dealing with that next month!

Your on your way to a new life. Keep it day by day and remember the rules of what you learned so far. Good luck.

Good luck and drink your water!

Dear Discouraged, I have not been banded yet, but here is a great reference for you on UTube and search lapband 2012 so many banders experiences. Here are some pointers that I have researched. Eat with a baby spoon. Eat on a small plate. Dont eat and drink at the same time. CHEW YOUR FOOD 30 TIMES EACH BITE! Don't over eat as soon as you feel yourself full STOP EATING! Start to exercise when your wounds heal. Good luck!

Yay! good luck to you.

Hi Molly, Welcome and good luck.

Don't worry................after the lap band is done and the pounds start to fall off and you get into those skinny jeans and heels again! yay!

Hi, I just started on my quest for my lap band. I would call the doctors office to see which doctors they use.
