Stunning New Research: "Placement of a gastric band appears to be a disservice"

"The placement of a gastric band appears to be a disservice to many morbidly obese patients and therefore, in the current culture of evidence based medicine, the prevalent use of laparoscopic gastric banding can no longer be justified. " Dr. Guller from Toronto, Canada. Furthermore, they state: "There is mounting and convincing evidence that gastric banding is suboptimal at best. "

The lap band didn't fail, SHE failed.

If "ice cream and chips" went down easy, why didn't she address her "inability to eat healthy high protein foods" and drink protein shakes and such like she was supposed to. The lap band didn't fail, she failed her lap band.

Unable to eat healthy food?! That is just rediculous! If you want to lose weight you have to make it work in your head. STOP eating junk and a lot of it. It is that simple.

This chick is sick "you are to chew your food properly" number 1 rule that the taught us since child hood. Why would you eat ice cream and chips that is a no no!! You are looking for an excuse for something you did. Well good luck to you and your MGB (if u like being cut up). I hope you will eat health after this MGB. I hope it was worth it.

this lady is full of shit. "chips went down really well...ice cream went down" it was your fault your lap band failed. Learn some self control.

i think she is so brave for being this open! after lapband surgery i was unable to eat fresh vegetables and fruit. i lost about 85 lbs. after surgery and have kept it off for over 3 years. when i complained to the surgeon who performed the lap-band operation on me, he accused me of over-eating and eating the wrong foods. at the time my diet consisted of about 500 calories a day including special k protein water, which was one of the only things i could keep down.

You have to eat healthy food. With a lapband you have to exercise everyday at a gym and walk. That is insane to go through that surgery for nothing. Maybe tummy tucks and liposuction next? I am having gastric bypass surgery April 4th and know I cannot eat those kinds of things anymore its called sacrifice and wanting to lose the weight.

To all you assholes that think you can just exercise off 200+ lbs - Try this - Get your self a packback and stuff it full of cans and water make sure it weighs at least 100lbs.

Now go to work with it on and work all day, then come home and start working out! Lets see how long you last! Can you add another 100 lbs to that pack? can you wear it every day for a just a month? How are those workouts going now?
