When most of us take time to analyze ourselves, we focus on our weight, skin or signs of aging.  We rarely think about our mind; how we feel, how we make decisions or how we view the world.  However, it is actually our mind that is the key to an overall healthy lifestyle.

At the most recent support group meeting, several patients who have not yet had gastric band surgery were in attendance.  To the approximately 40 gastric band patients in attendance, these pre-op patients posed the question:  &#8220;What was the hardest lifestyle change they needed to make to be successful with their weight loss?&#8221;

Recently, there have been reports about Gastric Band Hypnosis.  Basically, a hypnotherapist recreates a gastric band operation on a patient while under hypnosis and when they awake they believe that they have actually had the procedure.  Some hypnotherapists go to great lengths to recreate an actual operation scenario, including placing the patient in a hospital [...]]]></description>

Patients who suffer from Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, or GERD, often find that their symptoms are immediately and dramatically improved after receiving the gastric band.  Many of them no longer need to take daily medications like Nexium, Prilosec, and Protonix.  It seems that the restriction of the band helps prevent the backflow of acidic fluid made [...]]]></description>

One of the latest potential weight loss techniques currently being evaluated in clinical trials is the TOGA System by Satiety, Inc.  Recent news articles have raised awareness about the device and early results show at least some initial benefit following the procedure.  The transoral gastroplasty is done by inserting a stapling device through the mouth [...]]]></description>

Several patients were in the office today who have done very well with their weight loss using the gastric band.  Losing the last 15-20lbs is usually more about food choices, exercise and avoiding high calorie snacks than it is about finding a perfect band &#8220;adjustment.&#8221;  Most patients learn this by having their bands adjusted too [...]]]></description>

After several months and many, many short run/walks, group run/walks and strength training sessions, Team GBI crossed the Half Marathon finish line December 6, 2009. Excitement, accomplishment and even a little relief were felt as each GBI patient finished the 13.1 mile Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon course. Below are some photos from race day.
