The unique characteristic about lapband solutions is that it is removable, adjustable, and there are much less worry about complications than with other similar procedures. In fact, patients are able to go home the same day without much discomfort or worry. Results (with proper diet and exercise) will not be achieved for about a year. This is because the doctor is simply shutting off a section of the stomach in order to force the body to eat less, thus using stored up fat to feed the body. The procedure itself takes about an hour and a regular life can resume within 2-3 days. This will not be the life previously lived however. There are many food restrictions as well as a regular exercise regimen that will be determined by the doctor and patient. Complications during and after lap band stomach surgery are minimal and rare.
When looking at weight loss surgery a person should reflect on the reason to lose weight and how the weight was gained to begin with. This may not be a very comfortable thing to do, but very important to the success of lap band stomach surgery. This procedure is not a cure, but rather is a help to succeed in healthy weight loss; the rest is up to the person. Exploring lap band stomach surgery should be done thoroughly. Pray diligently about this decision and remember "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's" (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). That being said, come to full realization of how the body came that size. Find God's opinion and follow that even if that doesn't match up to what you think.
Next, determine whether lapband solutions are realistic for the specific situation by calculating the body mass index (BMI). This can be done by dividing weight by height, but first the pounds and inches need to be converted to kilograms and centimeters. Multiply weight in pounds by .45 to get kilograms and height by .025 to get centimeters. The result should range somewhere from 18 to 30. In general, a person with a BMI of over 25 should consider lapband solutions if traditional weight loss techniques have not worked. This is just a generalization, but the ultimate decision depends on the specific situation and ambition of the individual. Finally, research and plan how life will change after the procedure. Map out an exercise plan or at least some ideas to discuss with the doctor as well as how diet changes will take place for long-term success. Talk to friends, family, or people with similar weight loss goals to form an accountability and support network to ensure the best success.
A good idea might be to map out a plan for after the procedure before even contacting a doctor. It is important to understand what foods and lifestyle changes will occur to ensure successful weight loss. For a first week prior to surgery the doctor may require a no fat, liquid diet. After surgery a healthy well-balanced diet excluding fats and sugars is recommended for the best success. The doctor will go over a plan for any specific needs a person may have. Once a person decides this is the right thing to do, it is time to find a doctor. This plan will include eating several times a day in small amounts. This may be the hardest part of the lifestyle change. Think about how life needs to change to ensure time for eating up to eight times a day. Some ideas include crock pot cooking, ready to eat snacks such as crackers and yogurt, and nutritious drinks to consume on the go. Research doctors in a large surrounding area in order to find one best suited for any specific needs that need to be met. This may include health issues and payment options. People with diabetes, certain allergies, or other health issues that would alter diet should find a doctor very educated in that disease. This will ensure proper care and follow-up. Choose a doctor that has done many surgeries and who fits the profile for any specific needs. A good doctor will have references of people that have been satisfied with his or her services. There are many support groups forming due to the popularity of these types of procedures which can be a good place to get leads on the best doctors in the area.
