[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 294229, member: 3184"] Lap band is the safer surgery (the alternative is a complete gastric bypass or Roux en Y) but there are strict dietary stuff to be enforced afterward. I am more familiar with the bypass, which requires a liquid diet for several weeks afterward. If she can follow the dietary stuff, she will lose weight. I am not sure about the emotional aspect. Seeing a counselor who specializes in eating disorders would be good. I hope she follows up with the post op counseling. You are right in that she has to do it for herself. I know someone who had the lap band and she has lost probably around 100lbs and has had no complications that I know of. Hope it goes well, and kudos to you for taking care of her afterward. [/QUOTE]
