POSSIBLE TO OVEREAT?
Hi Joe, I am a bandster, and no, I could never dream of eating an entire pizza, even in the early stages of my fills. I ate one piece of pizza the other night and ended up doubled over and sick. I have tried to push myself just because I love food, and when do, I pay dearly. I still don't have proper restriction but have been very thankful for the slow learning process. I have had to change my eating habits gradually and for me, that was a good thing.

Hi joe.
I don't know toomuch about the lap band.. but i was watching a program on discovery channel where they were putting in a lap band on a woman. The surgeon did say that there was restriction, however, patients can stretch the band overtime if they eat more often. He said that since there is restriction at mealtime. People might eat more than their typical 3x day because of that restriction. Also, the type of food you eat. You have to literally change your lifestyle. Just because you CAN have a whopper doesn't mean you should have it.
either way, there are LAp band forums here on OH where u can ask these questions to people who have gone through this. They should know more then anyone (well of course except their doctors 
)!
Good Luck to you,

I have had the lap band surgery and I cannot eat a whole pizza ...I can eat alot because I need another fill but I could not nor want to eat a whole pizza. Nor could I eat as much as I use to. I may be able to eat 2 pieces of pizza. I can also eat what ever I want. The only thing that has gotten me sick was turkey. I chose this surgery because I wanted something that was less invasive and was reversable. Also I would like to have more children. If I were 10 years older I would probibly had done the ds switch which I hear is more successful than the band and RNY.
Good Luck
