Scary-I had major surgery because I had to, and I sure would not want to have one that I would not have to have.

Gastric Bypass surgery or lap band is a very serious step to take to lose weight.
To lose weight and maintain good health see my suggestions below:
1. Eat low calorie,low sodium, low fat meals and snacks. Meals should be about 400-600 calories and contain protein, starch, lean meat and fresh vegetables.
2. Go back to eating whole foods (whole wheat pasta, rice,oatmeal, fresh fruit and vegetables)DO NOT eat high sodium, high fat processed foods which will store as fat in the body.
3. Drink cold water before,during and after meals as well as throughout the day.
4. Walk 20- 30 minutes 4 times a day every day, increase your speed and length of time as you get used to it.
Wish You The BEST OF LUCK.

Weight loss surgery-like gastric bypass /lap band surgery / stomach stapling and gastrectomy have become very common and very safe now. My cousin got her Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery in India. She has lost more than 65 lbs in 5 months and is very happy with the results. The price for obesity surgery is very less in India. My cousin just paid 25% of the cost she was quoted in America. She got her surgery from a company called Forerunners Healthcare.
Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as bariatric surgery and weight loss surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your Obesity surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Hope this helps.
