Oh so it's like the staple your stomach and give you the lap band on top?

And I know it's only been a week but have you weighed yourself today? Any idea if you have lost anything since the surgery?

No staples just sutures

No staples just sutures

No u haven't weighed my self but I lost 65 lbs two mts pre op

WOW! That's great, what did your surgeon have you eat for those 2 months?

I did two protine shakes a day a saled until a week before I did all liquids

Wow! No wonder you lost 65 pounds! Is that standard for almost everyone, to do a diet like that for a month or 2? I just thought it was a liquid diet the week before.

I was two days till my op date and my bosses mom died so I had to stay they left for a month over seas!! It suxed cuz I was like super siked!! But I also had to get a cardio clearance because I was eight pounds over the limit I started my protine shakes even before I went to my first consult I did alot of reading really asked Google all my questions then my doctor lol!! Did you have to take all kids test like phyc and apnea??

how much one loses is based on how well the person does following the eating and exercising suggestions

if you are a larger person, you can lose more..but the band and implication will only help you if you help it.

some people go into this thinking if they have this or any wls, it will help them lose weight overnight,,

yes, you can lose but imagine how much more you can lose if one really follows the instructions they are given.

i feel one must change one's thinking in order to be successful.

as well as changing ones eating habits..

all the best

Is the "I band" just another name for lap band with plication? I have never heard of the Iband but it sounds like my lap band with plication maybe?

Yes mamm that

That's what they call it at true results in ft worth

I think it should be called Pli-Band
