Chapter
14: The Band Over Time and Living with the
LAP-BAND
The
ideal goal for a LAP-BAND patient is to forget they
have had the surgery and just benefit from its presence.
In my years of experience, I have seen how patients
learn to live with the LAP-BAND and make changes
to their lifestyles, habits, and overall health.
It is important for your success that you:
• Follow
the Ten Commandments of the LAP-BAND for Life
found in Chapter nine
• Get a band adjustment when needed
• Get follow-up care—from having your band adjusted as needed to
follow-up visits to the nutritionist, psychologist, and support groups, etc. |
