Weight wise
Sounds like a great plan! If your friend already has a lapband, she should inquire into the "reboot" program with weight wise. I don't know if they still do it, but at one time it was a program designed for post-surgery patients that helped them get back on track when things had gone down hill. Perhaps a fill with the lapband and a visit with the person running that program would be a good start. She is so lucky to have you there to encourage her! Good luck to you both!
