Here you will find all the rules you need to follow to ensure you successfully lose weight with a lapband. A Lap Band is a tool it is not a miracle cure. This is a fantastic video for bandits to be right through to the old hands and was filmed by Prof. Paul O'Brien. All presented in a handy video that helps you learn so much about how your band works.

Professor Paul O'Brien is a world leader in the Lap-BandŽ procedure. He was one of its originators, having been involved in its design since 1991 and placing the first LAP BAND in Australia in 1994.

He is the head of the Centre for Bariatric Surgery and also the Director of the Centre for Obesity Research and Education (CORE), a major research centre within Monash University in Melbourne and he is the National Medical Director at the American Institute for Gastric Banding (AIGB), in Dallas, Texas.

Through CBS and CORE, he and his associates have published more research studies and provided more post-graduating teaching on the Lap-BandŽ than any other group in the world.

I got this DVD as part of my LAP-BAND Starter pack - I went through the CBS but the video is on You Tube so I thought I'd paste them below for those of you that will get some benefit out of it, worth watching! :)

Part 1 & 2 are below:

I thought I had my head around all of this. I've read a few books, learned a lot from this forum and done some separate research on the Internet, but watching these videos really made things clear. Before watching, I sort of imagined that the whole process would be simple. I realised that the first 6 weeks were going to be hard, but I thought it would be a breeze from there. Now it has hit home that the hard work starts from there and goes on forever. Making the right choices and not over eating, EVER.

I'm still up for this, but I hope I have a a better understanding of what I am in for.


I'm going to printout a copy of the 8 golden rules and stick them on my fridge.

I have just watched this today and have eaten my first mushy meal properly (Day 3) I'm hoping I won't feel so rancid tonight. Last two nights I've felt awful and been wondering what I did wrong. Here's hoping!!

Thank you so much for posting these videos. Hearing those rules from the horse's mouth (so to say) really clears up some questions for me. Very valuable.

Thank you so much for posting these excellent video's. I only wish I'd seen them the day I had surgery instead of six weeks later :) I understand how it all works now, he has an great way of explaining things in easy to understand language. I just hope I've not done any damage so far! Cheers, Sarah
