Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band
A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭

Mine really isnt a question as much qs a statement. The Band does NOT reduce the size of your stomach!! It reduces the size of the opening to your stomach. Making smaller bites feel like much larger bites... your 'pouch' abive the band is not to be 'filled' as a stomach would; it is to slow your eating down.... banded since 2013.

A MyObesityTeam Member

I have no idea about anything in Canada, however, a burn center is a burn center. The problem, and solutions are universal. So I would think so. Call them and ask, and let us know.

Dismissive Doctors?
A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭

Today was the 7th anniversary of me and my husband's first date. It would have gone really well, except for my arthritis. I've been in pain all day. Nothing seems to touch it. I've asked my doctor for help, and all I got was "Lose weight". Has anyone else been dismissed when they bring things like this up at the doctor's? What did you do?

A MyObesityTeam Member

Yes, sometimes you have to shop around for doctors that fit. I found that I stayed with mine too long it was time to look for a different nurse practioner or doctor. Time and health practices… read more

Has Anyone Tried Hypnotherapy For Weight-loss
A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭

I realise that my inability to lose weight is psychological. I've been through a lot of therapy over the years and we've identified the sources and triggers. But even though I am aware of my triggers and emotional eating and secret eating habits, I just can't seem to get into the mindframe of "now I will only eat clean and healthy", "no more bingeing" etc. The big irony is that I do really enjoy eating healthy, but I also go and eat lots of rubbish.

Has anyone tried hypnotherapy to help deal… read more

A MyObesityTeam Member

I don't believe in Hypnosis. But,I do know people have tried it before.
