Gasrtic band surgery is similar to lap band surgery. in both type of weight lass surgery based on the concept of stomach reduction, so that the patient consume less food and resultd lose weight.
In these weight loss surgery to reduce stomach a type of band or some other mean used.
Mrs Star, this is drastic action. It’s quite well documented that those who have drastic weight loss reduction only put it back on when it’s released. If you have problems of weight loss, and I don’t know which they might be, the only really healthy way is to eat less and exercise more. Otherwise you might like to try, (if you are (really)overweight) http://www.nodietdiet.com. And no, I’m not a salesman but my mother lost weight using this diet.
You can also try vegetarianism, which is the best way to stay slim, and healthy. But maybe you should be more specific. If you are overweight, surgery is not the answer.
Drastic weight loss affects the metabolism, makes your body SAVE rather than quit fat (it thinks it’s being starved and therefore kicks in a defence mechanism to keep you alive).
You may also simply accept that some people are naturally big and that’s it. I, personally, am one of those skinny bastards for whom consumption does not make a difference.
If you are overweight and like cakes. Stop it. In the same way that alcoholics cannot stop being alcoholics by drinking booze. Take a life choice. We all die anyway.
Gastric bands reduce the size of the stomache and also limits the type of food you are able to eat, so they are very successful in enabling people to lose weight effectively. Now the bad news, the downsides to this kind of surgery are huge, first the risk of the actual procedure, fitting a gastric band is a very invaseive rocedure and is done under general anaesthetic which is a danger in of itself but the main problem with the band is it doesnt involve a lifestyle change. People become overweight because they consume more calories and fat than they are able to burn off through exercise and whilst this HAS to stop with a gastric band implant, it is often the case that once patients had the band removed they then returned to old habits and proceeded to re-gain the weight they had previously lost and in some cases put on even more weight. There is an argument for gastric bypass, but unless your health is immediatly threatened by your weight then i would really urge you to opt for a non-surgical soloution. Make some small changes to your diet and try to do just a little more exercise each day, people often forget that they usually put on weight over a long period of time, years usually so rather than try to shed it in a couple of weeks, just gently tip the balance the other way and lose the weight gradually and healthily, this wont nessecerily take years but 2-3lbs a week should be your rough guide. With these tiny changes made often, you’ll soon see a big overall change and you’d have done it by yourself! good luck with which ever path you choose, just remember to stay positive and never be to hard on yourself if you go slightly astray, just get back on the wagon and keep going lol
A friend of mine lost 13 stone (196 pounds) this way. She said it was quite painful & very difficult at the start not to be able to eat normal sized meals. A small pot of yoghurt was too much at the start. She had to lose 4 stone (56 pounds) before her doctor would allow the surgery anyway.
A few months after the op she had to have another op to remove the spare skin which does not shrink.
It is now 1½ years since the surgery & she looks & feels great. She says she has no regrets except that she wishes she had done it sooner. She is 38 years of age & is approx 10 stone (140 pounds) in weight.
I hope this is of help. Good Luck.

The key, or keys:
1) Low glycemic index ( G. I. ) foods.
2) Five (min) to ten (max) pct LOWER calories intake than proper for your wight / height and daily activity requirement.
3) Smaller portions. This is a corollary to 2) and possibly the hardest to handle, but once you’re there you have the first big hurdle done and over with.
4) When I say Low Gee-eye above that icludes alcoholic bibulations. An unsurmountable mountain for many.
5) a feeding pattern roughly id’d as 50 % vegs / fruits, 30 % proteins (four legged protes once a week only), and the remaining 20 % carbohydrates.
6) Understand the full implications of 1). That means GOODBYE forever to cakes pies cookies and so on.
IT calls for discipline of a caliber proper to the military. But come to think of it, staving off decay and premature aging IS a sort of mortal combat, i’nnit ?
Now signin’ up ?
Anyone ???
Hello ???
I would certainly only opt for any type of surgery as a very, very last resort. Please think about this very carefully. I have lost over seven stone by re-educating myself about nutrition, eating sensibly and exercising more. I found great support from other people in the same situation at a slimming group. Please give this another shot before going down the road of surgery. I hope this helps, I genuinely do.
thanks for the email and I see you are afraid to hear back from people I didn’t say you were muslim I was referring to them looks like you are the idiot.
