Sorry I can't help you in your quest to find a Dr in NY as I live in UT and was banded in Colorado. My Dr. had no problem that I was young. I think it is actually better for recovery the younger you are. Welcome to the 20's forum. Good luck with finding a DR!!!

A few of the rules I remember which made me successful at losing 50 lbs. were:
>use a salad plate instead of a dinner plate
>3 bites of protein, 3 bites of veggie, 1 bite of carb, repeat until satisfied
>eat every 3 hours
>fill up on protein for snacks, (hard boiled egg with a piece of cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, chicken breast etc.)
>never drink your calories, except for a protein shake
>No carbonated drinks
> do not frink for 30 min. before and for 30 min after a meal
>eat slowly, chew much, small bites
>Limit fruit, due to the sugar it converts to
Can anyone help me think of anymore? especially designated for lapbanders?
I realize all doctors do not give the same instructions.
