  1. rate of weight loss question

    kittyhorse posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
    I just completed my initial consultation with surgeon. He was comparing RNY to Lap band, saying, "the two surgeries don't compare for weight loss, the band is only average 2 pounds/month." I am not interested in RNY and favor the lap band. I would love to hear thoughts on rate of weight loss and how difficult compliance is to ensure weight loss.

  2. Lap Band and Horse back riding

    kittyhorse posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
    Greetings from Oregon. I am meeting with Bariatric docs Friday. I am hopeful to pursue lap band. I still have several questions. :tea:I am an avid horse back rider and my big questions are about activity like that and slippage. Any thoughts about this out there?
