{{/* BP structured-data corrections, 2026-08-04. buildMetaTags() runs in Dispatcher\Front before the head renders, and includeJS serialises Output::i()->jsonLd at the end of body, so mutating the array here is what actually ships.

  1. Hi, I live in Alpharetta, and would be happy to attend the meetings. Are there any in the Buckhead, N Fulton area? Thanks!
  2. Neveragain, would you say the lapband has decreased your appetite, or perhaps, made it more controllable sense the level of food (good or bad) you can consume has been drastically reduced?
  3. Thanks for the reply, Linda. On a scale of 1-10 (ten being the highest), how would you rate your appetite for unhealthy foods both pre-Lap Band and post-Lab Band? Also, has your doctor offered any medical solution to help curb your appetite?
  4. Hi, I am new to the forum, but have been seriously considering Lapband op to gain an edge in my battle against obesity. I am a 400 lb. male (6-0 tall), age 30, and have a ravenous appetite. I am able to control it with moderate success using Rx anorectic drug Meridia (15mg ED). Unlike other appetite suppressants, Meridia is literally free of side effects for me. With that in mind, I would like to know from other forum members who've had the Lap Band op and to see how it controlled their appetite from a mental point of view. I strongly believe most obese humans have a marked level of hyperactivity with the neuropeptides that control hunger. I do fear that if my appetite was not controlled as a result of the surgery, I could possibly over eat and endure serious complications. Thanks and best wishes to everyone!
