Finally! Some Positive Press For Lap Band



Recommended Posts

Let me start out by saying that I don't watch any of these Housewives shows, and I never knew who Lauren Manzo was before I saw this story on AOL. I know nothing of her weight struggles or anything, but I watched this video where she talks about getting the Lap Band and I was pretty happy!

She makes sure people understand that Lap Band is not a magic cure, nor is it the "easy way out" that most people think it is. She also acknowledges that she had the band loosened so she made sure she could eat healthy foods and exercises regularly. I also love that she points out that the Lap Band does not stop you from putting unhealthy foods in your mouth.

Best of all, she says that Lap Band is the best thing that she's ever done for herself :-) I am so glad that FINALLY someone in the public eye is showing that the Lap Band is a positive thing. Way to go Lauren!

That is great! The youngest son (corey?) from pawn stars had it too. In the newer episodes he looks awesome, he's lost a lot of weight!

I don't watch either show (though I have caught ONE episode of pawn stars)...I'm not interested in most reality tv (though I do watch Big Brother).

I love Corey, he's my fave on the show! But you gotta admit, he get's no respect, as smart as he is. Although I don't know what he see's in Chumley. :rolleyes:

More on topic.....I am always excited when people in the public eye have had or speak positively about Lap Band surgery and Life. So far, the Hollywood reviews have been positive, let's hope it stays that way! Well, I guess for now, we'll have to be our own Hollywood and tell each other how great Band living can be! Each positive word keeps me going....

i actually watch the show and have since it started and over the years i have related with lauren and her struggle feeling the exact same way, i got a sudden push to look more into lap band for myself because of her. i dont know why i worry so much about what others say but having lauren go public sort of gives me a better feeling about doing this as well.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
