It's very informative and I love reading about others that have gone through this experience. I found a great resource tonight that I'm really excited about called http://LapBandTalk.com . I'd highly reccomend it to anybody looking for Lapband info!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18001964433032256237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743882718798327691.post-78155829138091931492008-03-18T07:16:00.000-07:002008-03-18T07:16:00.000-07:00I have mixed feelings about gastric bypass... My M...I have mixed feelings about gastric bypass... My Mom had gastric bypass... however, I think that if you are overweight because of some compulsive eating inbalance, this will do little to heal you... You will still crave the foods that are not good for you, and when you eat them, you will have no room, and have no desire to eat foods that are good for you. My Mom ultimately died from poor nutrition. She became septic, developed pneunomia, it was difficult to watch. But truth be told, she was very pleased to be thin, and I don't think she would have changed that for the world.<BR/>Gastric bypass is good -- but I think surgeons should require counseling of all patients, like an AA group or something, to help people eliminate the compulsive behaviors. <BR/>I cannot speak for lap band.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
