Question:

How do I Mentally prepare myself for Lap band ?


Please tell me how would I mentally prepare myself for lap band surgery. I am really an emotional lover in terms of eating things. I am really attached with the food. My Lap band surgeon has adviced me to control my diet as preparation for lap band surgery. It is getting really difficult to control my emotions for food. Suggest me what should I do? should I drop the idea of going for lap band surgery.

Answer 1
Preparing youself mentally for lapband is really difficult ans this becomes more difficult when you are emotional food lover. I would suggest you if you can't control your self for food. then drop the idea of getting Lap Band surgery. As post banding diet is more difficult.... So just delay the banding and try to get control on your fooding habit...
Answer 2
Lap band surgery is really a very good option for weight loss. For lap band surgery you have to mentally prepare yourself. As this surgery demand of less intake of food for better result so you have to control over the eating habit. If you are the person who is suffering from the problem of “head hunger”—it is a mental craving in which physically people are not hungry, but they feel that they are hungry and they keep eating every time. Then before lap band surgery try to rid out from this problem then think for lap band surgery. In lap band surgery your stomach is tie in such a way that even in small amount of food you feel full. It is not that after lap band surgery you will sure loss your weight without following any precaution. You have to change your eating habit and you have to follow pre-operative and post-operative diet.  If you can control over the eating food habit then go for lap band surgery otherwise it won’t be helpful for you. Keep in mind that you have to control. Post-operative diet is very difficult for you. After surgery you have to follow liquid diet for 3-4 weeks. Prepare yourself for that then go for lap band surgery. It is very good option.
