Thread: How much weight can I expect to lose with Lapband Surgery?

will not get Gastric Bypass. I am a 41 yr old male who weighs 273 with a BMI of 44. My ideal weight (charts) is 167. I am an asthmatic and took Prednisone for over 20 years regularly......

I'm actually curious as to why you wouldnt get gastric bypass but you will get lapband??

I have asthma, I was over 100 lbs overweight. I'm 5'2" and I weighed 235lbs. Try cutting a lot of carbs out of your diet. I dont mean stop eating carbs but cut back to 1 or 2 servings a day and eat a lot of lean protiens. I personally like to do low carb protein shakes. You will see a huge difference in a few weeks. Then when you get to a healthy weight start adding more healthy carbs back in.

I would have been a great candidate for a "weight loss" surgery, but what satisfaction do you get out of that.

this girl I know has lost 80 pounds in like 4 months and her boyfriend has lost 40 pounds in 2 weeks.
