LAP BAND QUESTION


Recommended Posts

I GO TO THE DR FOR MY FIRST MEET AND GREET THE 13TH OF JANUARY. I AM WANTING THE LAP BAND BUT SOME PEOPLE I HAVE SEEN ON HERE HAS LOST WEIGHT BEFORE HAND I WAS WONDERING IF THAT IS AA REQUIREMENT FOR EVerYONE?

Prior to your surgery you go on a preop diet and are expected to lose about 5 % of your body weight. This weight loss makes your liver more pliable with less fat on it and that is important for the surgeon as your liver is lifted in order to access the top of the stomach and band it.
