Gastric bypass, tummy tuck, & Lap Band surgery. What are the benefits & the risks, & which one is the safest? I know my oldest sister died from complications from a tummy tuck, & I heard that Gastric Bypass is bad, too. But I was told that Lap Band was the best & the safest. & is it true that when a woman has a Cesarean Section, that's an AUTOMATIC tummy tuck? That's what my twin sister told me, & she had 3 C-sections with all her kids.
When I was living in New York, the doctor strongly emphasized & advized me to get Lap Band surgery, & he told me that Medicaid & Medicare would pay for it. I'm like 175 lbs. overweight for my height. & also, he said that after I've lost my desired weight, I can get the lap band taken out at any time. & he said I'd lose 100 lbs. Would I lose 100 lbs. instantly with that or would it take time?
**Sorry for so many questions but I need to get all of them answered.

But I'd rather lose weight the safe & natural way-eating right, exercising, & drinking lots of water, but it's gonna take forever.

Please also note that with both Gastric Bypass and lap band that it is possible to gain weight after you've take the weight off. You have to have responsible eating habits and exercise. It will take time to lose the weight as well. It's not like you'll wake up from the surgery 100lbs lighter. Trust me. I've had the gastric. It takes a while, but youre health is what matters.

The lap band is a ring that goes around the junction of the esophagus and the stomach, allowing less food to enter and making you feel full sooner. It is inserted by laparoscopic surgery, which is a minimallyinvasive procedure.
The gastric bypass is an open procedure where the stomach is physically reduced in size and the new smaller stomach attached to the duodenum. It is the riskiest of all the procedures.
A tummy tuck is a plastic surgery where skin and fat are removed around the abdomen.

Make pancakes even healthier with the addition of mashed baked sweet potato, many pureed spinach and blueberries, or maybe cooked quinoa.

Bask in the sun. Just 20 minutes of Vitamin D absorption on a daily basis will boost your ability for you to loose weight.

Get back on basics – burn more unhealthy calories than you ingest.

Troy has given you good info. As much as I know about it. The tummy tuck would not help you lose weight. I would just take in excess skin after you lose weight. The lap band and GBP are equally as safe if you have a good surgeon and good follow up care. Worse things CAN happen with GBP but I believe that is because we hear the scare stories.

Music forces you to eat more. According to a work by the journal Psychology in addition to Marketing, soft, classical tunes encourage one to take time over your food, so you consume more meals. So, switch off – silence will make you more aware of what you’re applying your mouth.

It’s Friday brunch time and you simply can’t stop going back intended for seconds. But hang on! Stop for the minute and suck on an additional strong mint. The flavour can put you off that next plate of chicken korma/roast beef/sushi medley.
