Hey all i have a question for you. Before i was banded i found weight watchers to be a very affective, neutritious and reasonable program for long term weight loss. I was wondering if anyone has or heard of anyone that has incorparated weight watchers and the band together and if so how did it work.

before i was banded i lived on WW! i loved it, it was effective, workoed well--when i could stick with it! it is my plan to try this again so i will keep you posted...

I have seen others on the site reference joining weight watchers. You might want to do a search on the site to pinpoint the specifics.

My surgeon actually recommended combining lapband with ww, which I am doing.

My surgeon recommends trying to learn to eat healthy, smaller portions on my own. Along with exercise and plenty of Water. It's a new way of life and I have to incorporate these good habits to lose the weight and keep it off for life. I'm doing the best I can!

However, I have heard others mention this - WW and the band. It's not a bad thing I don't think. It doesn't seem to me like a fad diet, they have good healthy meals and promote exercise and good hydration as well. At some point however, one must learn to live this way for life and not need to keep seeking this help to maintain. Just my personal opinion due to the advice of my surgeon. I know we all need help, as we all have or are seeking the Lap-band.
