Body By Vi Shakes Vs Lap Band Surgery - My Decision



Why I opted for the Body By Vi Challenge Vs Lap Band Surgery ( Before and After Photos Posted)

When you are extremely heavy, once you make the decision to lose weight, you want to lose the weight FAST.

I thought you might like to know that I actually considered Lap Band surgery when my doctor diagnosed me as being "morbidly obese". Before I actually tell you the reasons for making the decision to go a different route, I want to first tell you that my opinions expressed are in no way intended to slight those who have made the decision to opt for Lap Band Surgery-

In fact, I feel that in some cases, Lap Band Surgery is a great alternative for those who need to lose weight quickly for health reasons, and I'd want to also encourage those who have had Lap Band surgery by saying that the Body By Vi Shakes are a fantastic way of recieving all of the nutrition that you need, in a great tasting shake that has been proven to jump start a sluggish metabolism, AND the Visalus Shakes have been proven to improve the results of those who have reached a weight loss plateau, after having a gastric bypass or Lap Band Surgery.

After my primary care physician made the diagnosis of being Morbidly Obese, I knew that I had allowed my weight to get to the point that I had seriously jeopardized my health.

I started researching online, and began to read forum posts and any information that I could regarding having the Lap Band Surgery done.

I made an appointment with a well known clinic, known for performing several Lap Band Surgery procedures weekly, and decided that this would be the route I took in order to get the weight off.

I showed up for my initial consultation - and weighed in. After taking my vital signs, and reviewing all of my details, the consultant then began to outline what would be needed from me in order to qualify for the surgery due to medical reasons, and qualify to have the surgery paid for by my health insurance.
