Doing Abdominal Crunches after Lap Band Surgery

Posted: Dec 08 in Gastric Band Blog by

Getting a Lap Band or undergoing other weight reduction surgeries in Columbus will help you lose weight, but it is still important that you exercise after the operation in order to facilitate weight loss. One important exercise is abdominal crunches, which will help tone your lower abdominal muscles, improve the strength of your core and improve the appearance of your abdomen. However, crunches must be done properly to prevent complications developing as a result of your Lap Band surgery.

Broccoli and Weight Loss

Posted: Dec 04 in Gastric Band Blog by

A cup of steamed broccoli a day may help drop unwanted pounds! Research has shown that broccoli is a low-calorie and low-fat vegetable packed with an abundance of nutrients, fiber, and cancer-fighting agents. Not only is broccoli rich in twice the amount of vitamins C and K needed in a day, but it also is an excellent source of vitamins B2 and B6, phosphorus, magnesium, protein and omega-3 fatty acids. These vitamins, minerals, and cancer-reducing compounds are best maintained with minimal preparation time.

Many people make losing weight harder on them than is necessary by falling into the trap of diet fads, and more often than not end up weighing more than they did before starting out. The only fool proof way to lose weight is through lifestyle changes and the development of weight loss management skills. When people rely on snake oil solutions, they never develop any of the healthy lifestyle habits that will keep their weight off long term. If you’re dangerously overweight, you may wish to get a foothold on your weight loss by seeking a weight loss surgeon in Macon.

Adrian: LAP-BAND Surgery

I want to take a moment to thank Dr. Bagnato and staff for giving me my life back! 1 year ago I was a 32 year old on 17 different pills for Diabetes, Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, Sleep Disorder, Arthritis, Depression, Anxiety, Mood Disorder, ADD, Chronic Back Pain, Thyroid Disease, etc. The only medication I take now is for fluid. I am down 36.5lbs, down 17 pills, and down from a 22/24 to a 16. I still can’t believe I got me and my daughter in my size 20 jeans. I look and feel great! I can walk without getting pain in my chest, I can sleep without a c-pap machine, and I have so much energy which I need to take care of my 3 small children. My singing has improved since the weight has come off as well. I feel like I have literally been given my life back. Both me and my family! I believed in the lap band and now too, believe in myself.

Do you need to lose a substantial amount of weight? These days, it seems like everyone is looking for quick results. There is a difference, however, between finding a fast paced weight loss program that offers false results and steady weight loss that increases your metabolism and weight loss momentum. Momentum keeps you going and feeds healthy, weight-loss producing habits, while giving you positive feedback. If you are looking to lose a substantial amount of weight, trying more than one weight loss method with the supervision of your local Valdosta doctor is key to building momentum. Two methods of weight loss that are available for those with a substantial amount of weight to lose include stomach banding and lifestyle modifications to increase your metabolism.
