A talk show created with all the band patients (LAP-BAND & Realize) in mind. Be sure to tune in Monday to hear from Valerie Grimes "Mind Coach" she will be discussing the emotional side of this journey. This surgery is so much more than losing weight, we have to deal with our emotional issues as well. Body and mind work together, if the mind says, “add weight to protect yourself”, the body responds, so unless the adult with the weight problem truly feels safe about being thinner, the body will not release the weight. The mind and body have to agree.
