it’s easier to jump into a marriage. It’s even easier to jump out of an airplane. But, when it comes to having Lap-Band surgery, many things need to happen before you can say, “I did it!”

While Lap-Band surgery is elective, a good surgeon’s team will have you jump through an extensive series of hoops. They’ll want to make sure that you qualify for the surgery. They’ll also want to make sure you know exactly what you are entering into with this weight loss procedure.

A friend of mine is scheduled for surgery this week. She has undergone a number of different medical tests. They also wanted her to go through a three week preparation process but she refused. She told them she was ready for it. She already made up her mind that she wanted to have the surgery. She just wanted to get it done.

Over a lunch discussion this weekend, she began to elaborate on all of the different changes that take place as a result of undergoing Lap-Band surgery. For example, she said she will not be able to drink while eating a meal. Eating and drinking must be done separately. No fast food. Gone will be some of her favorite foods. No Rib-Eye steaks because of the grease. Breads and cheeses will also be removed from her menu of choice.

The friend who enlightened her about the benefits of having Lap-Band surgery has created her own tremendous before and after weight loss pictures as a result of it. In less than one year she has already dropped 90 pounds.

Lap-Band surgery is less invasive than bariatric surgery. She can have her band adjusted as time goes by. If she wants to increase her food intake she can have the band adjusted. If she wants to decrease her food intake, she can do that as well.

This process is not something that would work for me. For now the fat man in me will be unleashed through an improved diet and exercise. The bottom line is I have my doubts if I could give up breads completely! But I sure do see the positive results of Lap-Band surgery.

Is it worth the sacrifices? Is it worth $10,000 to $15,000? Are these the weight loss pictures you want to create? If so, how much do you want to see them come to life? These are matters only you can decide. And it is a good thing that the detailed preparation process for the surgery helps you make sure you are making the right decision before you tell the world about your weight loss and shout, “I did it!”
