Unfortunately, the link about the guy who did the Faux GB surgery (just eating like he had a GB, not actually getting one) is in the ether, with the old BrainTalk. I'm aware of the address of the present day BT, but there's not a good way to find the old post that went away because of the crash of BT. joe |

Laura's inflamatory story is like telling a story of owning a dog, and only writing about having to pick up the poop. I used to not even consider GB surgery, but I like this idea of a mini done lapriscopically. joe |

Hi,
I have lost well over 100 lbs on low carb but before I looked into gastric bypass I would check out the lap band...much safer and can be reversed! HTH!!!

I agree that we need to come to terms with why we eat and make changes in our lives to eat the right things. I have been heavy all my life (since age 13) although never this heavy. I always managed to stay active and was a soccer coach and ran and played but with this injury my physical activity has come to a screeching halt.
I was just talking to hubby about a friend of his who had the gastric bypass 2 years ago and we were talking about how much he ate at lunch today. He lost over a hundred pounds but is still big and now he seems to eating a normal portion of food and I wonder if we don't get our eating under control should we even think of having surgery to fix it. I am an emotional eater, I don't always eat because I am hungry in fact I am rarely hungry. I eat because it is there or I am bored, sad, depressed, or I am happy, excited or socializing. Food is like the center of my life and when we get together with friends it is centered around food and drink. I would like to be able to make different choices without even thinking about it. Yes I know it can be done but I have not done it yet. I also wonder if having the mini GB would it make it easier to exercise and be physically active? When I try to walk or do any kind of exercise I am so sore and in pain afterwards that I don't make myself get up and do it the next day. Would having the GB and losing weight quickly cause less of a strain on our bodies that in turn would let us exercise more and turn things around? Well that is my rambling for the day. Do I have any answers...obviously not. Am I ready to run out and get the mini GB--no. But I am also not turning my back on something that may give me a few more years on this planet...Sue
