Lap Band Doesn't work?
Sorry to say no it won't help because candy and other sweets or chips and crackers go down easier than other foods so it doesn't help at all. I saw a doc today and she said the band flat doesn't work for about 20% of people because they have stomachs that are just too sensitive and can't take the restriction. Personally I think it helps if you are a volume eater but if you have eating disorders or a sweet tooth it really won't help much.
I had the Realize lap band put on back in 2009...I lost 140 pounds within that first year and was very successful...since then I've probably put back on 1/2 the weight I've lost...is there a fix?...how can I achieve the same effects from when I first had it placed?...I'm able to eat twice as much as I could a year ago...just not feeling it anymore...
