My husband has been a diabetic for almost fourteen years now. He comes from a family of diabetics. Aside from the genes this illness was aggravated for his love for food but never for exercise. So as expected he suffers from obesity. Is this a disease or simply a matter of poor diet and lack of exercise?

Obesity solutions and weight loss methods have been considered to get rid of his excess weight and one of this is to undergo a weight loss surgery. This Lap Band Surgery makes use of an adjustable belt that wraps around the upper potion of your stomach, creating a smaller gastric pouch which will limit the amount of food that can be contained in the stomach, slowing down food flow. As a result, one will feel full faster with smaller amount of food. The Laparoscopic Band’s contraction also helps restrains cravings between meals.

We have heard a lot of success stories from many patients who have tried this weight loss option. My husband was encouraged and will undergo the same procedure soon.
