  1. Yes Thank You but then what is the point I do not get it? Why not just do the lifestyle changes and then you will loose weight regardless what is the point of spending all that money on the surgery? Am I missing something here? I mean look at Carnie Wilson. What does the surgery actually do for you.
  2. people keep telling me not to get lapband surgery because you put the weight back on again. Can anyone tell me if this is true? Also that you are still hungry?
  3. Hi I am considering lap band surgery but I have a few questions. My problem is I am always starving so I am wondering does it stop the hunger? If you have to change you're eating habits why not just do that without paying $$$$ for the surgery? What if I cannot change my eating habits which so far I have not been able to do? What do I do with all my loose flab I am 59 yrs old is that too old for the surgery? In British Columbia how do you get medical to cover the cost of the sugery? I mean 35 days of liquids now thats harsh and impossible for me do you really have to do that and why? Help I am tired of being hungary its expensive!
  4. There is nothing wrong with you other than you need to like you're self and quit the self hatred talk, be nice to you're self. I am sorry but I don't get it I am not wasting my money on the surgery because I thought it was supposed to stop the hunger. I am overweight because I am always starving. I mean if you have to eat the way they say why would you need surgery. You would loose weight anyway. Surgery cannot change the way you eat total waste of money. Can someone answer the question does it stop the hunger and why do people gain all the weight back?
