The secret to a successful Lap Banding

The secret to a succcesful lap banding operation for weight control is to use it as a tool.

I had the physical lap band put in place to help me by reminding me that I was full and to stop eating. What us westerners seem to do is to eat for our tongues. What my Indian friends mean by this is that when something tastes good, we keep on eating until our plates are clean and there's nothing left. Just because it tastes good and there's some left on the plate doesn't mean we should eat it all!

Portion controll is enforced by a lap band otherwise you lose the lot! Not nice so be a faster learner than me :-)

Frankly, having the lap band installed was the best thing I've ever done for myself.  I hope when you reach your 5 year mark that you can say the same.

To your success now that you know there is no real secret.
