What exactly does a lap band surgery diet mean?

Well there are two types of lap band surgery diets, the pre-surgery and post-surgery diet. In the pre-surgery diet your doctor wants you to eat a diet high in protein and low in fats and calories. This helps your body prepare for the surgery and makes recovery time faster. The post-surgery diet gradually takes you from a liquid diet, to purees to softer foods until your body is ready to handle regular foods. Then you should still be watching what you are eating and making sure you keep small portions.

Two types of fat distribution (as far as obesity goes) are Android Obesity and Gynoid Obesity. Android is often thought of as "apple-shaped" where fat is carried above the waist (think beer gut) whereas Gynoid obesity is thought of as "pear-shaped" and fat is carried below the waist. Android is more common in men and Gynoid is more common in women.

No, I do not think that there are any differences as to whether obese women or obese men get it. Cancer is developed because of the unhealthy lifestyles that one chooses to have.

Eat fruits and veggies and work out daily and have no worries of developing cancer.
