Did you think the band would stop the cravings ?

[Guest guest]

There are is so maney that think it a cure. The band is only aa tool

and the craving will still be there. You have to do a lot of self

control and you need to working out daily for the tool to work. I would

do it in a heart beat.

I have talked to Doctors that say 40% will fail and have it taken out

for another WLS. Dig deep and we all can make the band work.

I'm also one who strongly encourages working with a good therapist on

our eating and food issues. Self-control and willpower are far from

enough. As with any addiction, we need serious help.

My therapist was truly invaluable, and I learned just an incredible

amount about myself and why I was making poor choices. then, i learned

to choose much better ways to meet my emotional needs, than all the

extra food that was literally killing me.

I also am a strong proponent of Guided Imagery and hope people will

consider using the Bandster Success Guided Imagery CD's. They also

were a huge help for me, and for many others.

Thanks for the reply Sandy, It's hard for me to see folks go back to

bad food and pop after having the band put in. Come on You have to

make the tool work. Not eat around it...

I sure hope that if you know folks that do this that they get some

help

Thanks again
