    I wish I had done this years ago researched for 14 years. listened to several seminars in 3 diffrent states. Decided to go to Dallas to have surgery done. Found a great doctor Dr. Matt. Westmoreland. Very professional and knowledgable. Felt safe under his care. Thought it would be more painful and also afraid of post-op complications. Due to my weight. Went into surgery weighing over 470, with asthma, sleep apnea, joint pain, pseudotumor cerebri and many more complications. I have had no complications only problem I am starting to get hungry because I have to get my first fill. I had no hunger for 3 weeks, I have never experienced not being hungry unless I consumed a HUGE meal. Just sorry I did not do this long ago

    All I can say is positive things!! Best thing I have ever done! I am 6 months post op and down 89 lbs..have 37 to go!! This is the best I have ever felt! It isn't easy but I wouldn't trade it for anything, I love my band. It is a tool that helps me put my food in control. I wish you the very best on your journey!

    I,too, wish I had not waited years to get banded. I am so happy with the positive change in my life since my surgery - I am healthier, I am happier, I have more energy, and I know that my life is only going to get better with the more weight I lose!

    I wish you much success!
