This patient support community is for discussions relating to lap band surgery for weight loss, complications, finding a surgeon, whether it is right for you, nutrition, recovery, risk, and pre- and post-op issues.
Looked at that web site and read it and don't believe it will work. Optifast and the other meal replacement drinks get boring and are hard to tolerate/cope with. If you really want to lose weight, talk to a surgeon about the options they can provide you as the lap band isn't the only weight loss surgery available. Personally, also I would stay away from the dr in the web site - he only recommends drinks and I don't believe that needles can bur fat.
