Is a Lapand Helpful?
One of these choices is lapband surgery and, if you’ve looked into it at all, you will have found that it is a solid choice for many people in that it is not complicated, is not as invasive and is inexpensive. The question you’ll want to consider is if the surgery is right for you.
The best way to answer this is to first look at your goals and how you’re living your life with respect to diet and exercise. It is unrealistic to maintain your current eating habits and minimial exercise and think that a lapband will do the work for you. An option in that case is some form of cleanse, and while this can help short term, the long-term issue of health remains.
You need to fully understand your goals and motivations before making that appointment to get pre-screened to see if you are a candidate. Once you’ve done this, the next thing you will need to do to ensure the effectiveness of lapband treatment is to make a commitment to yourself that you will follow through on what your doctors and nutritionist tells you. This of course, will require quite a bit of discipline, especially if you, like many of us, like the rich food that is so easily obtainable. A lapband treatment will require you to make a number of changes in your diet. Things like avoiding fast food or sugary sweets is one. Carbonated drinks are another to be avoided. You might be wondering why this is? The reason for this is that these types of foods add no nutrition to your body and work against it.
Why am I harping so much on proper diet? Simple, lapband treatments essentially create a pouch that can be inflated or deflated, allowing more or less food to be taken in and digested. In short it won’t matter how your doctor adjusts the belt if you’re diet consists of high fat, high calorie foods.
So, is a lapband effective? It is as long as you commit to healthy choices.
