Lap Band Surgery

Now if there’s anything to know about me, it’s that I think that surgery is the wrong choice in every case, there is no justification at all for surgery. It’s a simple ways of suppressing your appetite no matter how you look at it, which boils down to the same basic mechanism of action. But there are plenty of appetite suppressants out there over the counter and through prescriptions, though I prefer over the counter.

That being said, when my dad said he was going in for lap band surgery, I just about strangled him. Not that I could, he’s well over twice my size, but I could certainly try. I mean honestly. He has tried about every fad diet out there including Atkins and HCG among others, and he complains that even though I pointed out he’s never had trouble really losing weight, he always seems to gain it back. That’s what happens when you go on a fad diet and then you don’t bother actually learning healthy lifestyle habits in general!

Also, he does this generally without really bothering to get into a serious exercise program. So what do you really expect to happen. He’s a smart person, really. But sometimes, he does things that really just don’t make sense and they don’t ever pan out. I don’t see why he can’t figure this particular thing out and really own up to his own mistakes. If he could do that, he could keep it off and really wouldn’t even be considering lap band surgery. Still I think I get to be mad at him to some degree for a while to come over this.
