Setting Realistic Weight Goals After Your Lap Band SurgeryDeciding to have lap band surgery is a big step, and there is a lot to consider both before and after the surgery. One important component is the weight loss plan for after the procedure is finished. To help insure the success of the surgery, it is important to work closely with your doctor on a solid plan for how to adjust your eating afterwards. Your physician will provide you with information about this, but don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have. When you think of something, jot it down and then bring the list with you when you go in for a consult. You may also want to bring a friend or family member with you as an extra set of ears. With lap band surgery it is important to set realistic goals so that you can maximize your results without compromising your health. Any weight loss goals you set should be specific and should also be discussed with your doctor. If you are going to undergo this procedure, nutritional counseling can be extremely helpful. Communication is also key, as lap bands can be adjusted. Staying in touch with your doctor and discussing your progress candidly will help keep your goals on target--and make sure that they are reasonable as well as healthy. |
