Being on that two week diet really does make you think I'm on day 5 and its getting a lot better but my first 2 days where bad

Mine is Oct 3rd and I'm so ready to start my new life good luck to you

The LAGB is most appropriate for patients whose BMI is less than 50. The lower the BMI initially (35-49) and the closer patients are to being only 100 pounds over their ideal body weight has the most success in my experience. The other category which does well with a LAGB are the “big” meal eaters. This means they aren’t snackers and don’t graze on junk food all day and night until they go to bed, but instead tend to eat meats and vegetables three times a day but in large quantities or amounts. This group tends to do well with any Restrictive Procedure. Patients who tend to do poorly with the LAGB are patients with a “sweet tooth” who frequently eat ice cream, candy, cookies and simple carbohydrates like potatoes, bread, rice and pasta; or patients who graze all day by eating small handfuls of nuts, chips and other convenience and junk foods. They never over eat and feel full or vomit so they get no benefit from the band, but there is a steady stream of calories through out the day which add up quickly. Keep in mind you must reduce your intake to 1200 calories or less and it can be done and you be satisfied if you make better food choices after Restrictive Operations like the LAGB.

What brand of band did you get I've heard some are better than other brands not sure , thinking the doctor probably does not give you diffrent ones to pick from but didn't know if I needed to be concerned about the different bands

Different band would like to know more about the different ones

Sleeve seems like. There is more risk also

I was torn between the two at first but I going with the band because I don't like the fact my stomach has to be cut on for the sleeve and.the band you can undo and the fact you can pretty much eat everything it just didn't seem like that would be good for me

I went.for my first appointment 8/27 and got approved Monday I have surgery on 10/3
