Dr. Oz

Wow, the LapBand is being discussed on the Dr. Oz show today.  Interesting take on the surgery and the guidelines being lowered by the FDA which makes it easier to qualify for the surgery.  Dr Shawn Garber talks about an 85% success rate, but emphasizes that the LapBand is not an easy fix.  Two women in the audience talk about that the benefits outweigh the risks.  I agree with that.
Looking forward to watching the rest of the show.

Meanwhile, I continue to be hungry...have 3 more days of liquids...down another 1.8  lbs.  All part of the journey.  I kept dreaming about food last night.  I vividly remember being at a party and fixed myself a little plate and half way through, realized that I still had one more day of liquids...I was horrified.  Did not know what to do.  Then I kept dreaming of being in different places and eating, then being angry that no one reminded me that I was not supposed to.  Explains why I woke up feeling a little anxious :)

During my recovery time, I have spent some time watching TV...boy, what an eye opener that so MUCH of our world is surrounded by food, and exorbitant amounts of it!  Cannot get through 3 commercials without 1 being about food.

For more info on the show, I posted Dr. Oz's link on my blog site.

Peace and Health,
