Should I undergo a lap band?
The choice is yours as long as you are fully
informed. First, it does not work in the majority of patients. Just placing a band round the stomach
does not cure obesity- the disorder is much more complex than that.
The surgery is expensive and there are serious
complications. The chief reason there are bariatric centers all over the
country is not because of the nobility of surgeons in curing obesity-but
primarily it is a lucrative procedure.
I would recommend changes in lifestyle; walking
more, eating less and remain motivated. This works as long as you persist. It is
cheaper, safer and more satisfying than any bariatric procedure-albeit a little
slow.
