Re: Lap Band Question.. Please help! | |
Susan, you are right. With LAP-BAND® surgery, the weight loss still depends on the willpower. The difference would be, because I am less hungry, I am less inclined to buy cake and cookies on my own. With bypass, I would definitely have an easier time to lose 70% of the extra weight in the first year as the surgery tends to suppress my appetite. However, I am really concerned with the long term side effects of bypass: mal-nutrition. I am only 32 years old. I think I will stick with the LAP-BAND® and exercise my willpower to reach my goal weight. What about the fruits? Do we also need stay away from them while we are trying to lose weight? <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> |
