Arizona LAP-BAND
Just for Men: Most men who come to us have a very similar story: as younger men they were active, and weight loss came easy. Then as they settled down, so did their lifestyle. Some of our patients have been professional athletes -- who were able to keep the calories they ate in check with their activity. Then they were injured, or retired, and the appetite continued. Others have been active in the military service, working hard to keep their weight with vigorous exercise. But as we age two things happen: the activity slows down and metabolism slows. But the appetite continues. In fact, sometimes the food intake increases. Eating out becomes more common, sometimes eating more. Even keeping up an exercise program the slowing metabolism and increasing calories means the belly gets larger. The LAP-BAND provides an answer. It allows you to eat the amount of food that maintains weight at a desired level. But it is more than the installation of the band -- it is learning how to use it. The Total-Care of the band system -- which means we will help you learn to use your band. |
"I was deprived of feeling good, my quality of life, and exercise, all because as I got older it was harder and harder to lose weight, and almost impossible to keep it off.

Even with vigorous exercise it is difficult to lose the excess weight that use to come off so easily. As we age it takes more and more exercise to lose the weight .
