Gastric Lap Band Surgery vs. Fat Burning Weight Loss

So you're so frustrated with your weight loss efforts you are considering Gastric Band surgery. This means mentally you are at the end of your rope; you feel all is hopeless and the only way to accomplish your weight loss goal is a gastric band procedure.

Before jumping into an invasive procedure, that has some risks, you need to ask yourself one question. Have I really tried to change my eating and exercise habits and given it a 100% effort?

I believe for most people the answer is a resounding no. I am a 26 year veteran family practice doctor so I feel my opinion is a valid one. People all want the easy way out. Changing your eating and exercise habits is not an easy task. You are fighting human nature which resists change. This may be subconscious but you can make a conscious effort to over ride this and create a new habit.

Insurance companies know this. To qualify for a gastric band procedure you have fail at least two structured diet programs and have some serious health issues that would benefit from your weight loss.

Gastric band surgery is a laparoscopic procedure so it is minimally invasive; but it still has risks. Wound infection with methacillin resistant Staph tops the list. Blood clots are always a concern and sometimes the band shifts and causes obstruction and has to be removed. If you eat the wrong things or eat frequently you can negate the effects of the surgery as well.

You may now ask, "Doctor what do you feel is the best way to burn fat and lose weight?" The simple answer is to follow a proven lifestyle changing diet program. You certainly can do it on your own by counting calories and getting some exercise; but where has that gotten you so far? The problem again is human nature. You temporarily change your eating habits, diet, and after achieving some weight loss you revert to your old ways. Next is weight gain, all the weight you lost plus another 10% on top of your previous weight. This is medically known as the yo-yo effect.

I recommend a diet program like Strip That Fat. It consists of a rapid 2 week weight loss phase. This jump starts your efforts and keeps you motivated. Next is a consistent weight loss phase until your goal is achieved. They have a diet generator on their site; this lets you plan what you eat ahead of time so you get it right. After doing this for 6-8 weeks you will develop a new habit of eating correctly. This will solve the yo-yo effect problem as you permanently change. Check out My #1 Recommended Diet HERE.

Whatever you chose as best for you I wish you luck in getting healthy by hitting your weight loss goal.
