    Approaching Op Date For Gastric Band

    I was the exact same, I had my consultation and had my operation 14 days later, I think that is the earliest they can do it as there is a 2 week cooling off period once you pay so you can change your mind.

    Approaching Op Date For Gastric Band

    It is but wasn't easy I can assure you :D People that get the gastric band really needs to understand it's just a tool that needs to be used correctly, having one doesn't mean instant weight loss. You still need to work with the band.

    Why are vitamins needed?

    I got this response from a gastric band facebook group. So I guess it is important. Taking them each day just in case.

    Why are vitamins needed?

    I was told to take a-z multi vitamins after my operation but slowly stopped taking them. I recently started again but does anyone here know the exact reason why we need them? Do we become deficient in certain vitamins after WLS?

    Finally found some forums!

    I have been searching for a long time for some type of weight loss surgery forums and not have any success. I have just been in some gastric band/sleeve groups on facebook and out of no where someone posted this website. I joined around a week ago but all my posts were awaiting moderation. I've...

    4 months to surgery! So much anxiety

    I'm sure you have your own reasons why you're doing this, just keep that in mind when thinking about the operation, you're doing it for a good reason.
