Step 1 Mental Preparation Let's face it, if you are having this surgery, you have always been big and most likely have tried diet after diet that has not worked. If you will follow your doctor's instructions, the weight WILL come off, BUT you can sabotage it. This is hard to get your mind around.

Each one might not be for everyone, but I hope that there is something that every prospective Lap Band patient can use. That have plagued you for your whole life and believe that this is going to work and you are going to loose weight. You have decided to have Lap Band surgery, now what. See yourself in smaller clothes, fitting into seats at ball games better and all of the things. Try your best to erase all of the frustrations that you have had with food, dieting, body image, etc. There will be things that your doctor tells can do to prepare for the surgery. You are about to enter into a whole new world permanent weight loss.

However, there are other less medical things that you can do to prepare.
