Welcome BWesley...let me say that I was banded on 5/27/09, and have lost 90 pounds. From 235 to 145. I eat correcty and I exercise almost daily...that is the key to your success. The band only took 45 mins. to be placed, and I have never had any problems. I reguarly have the doctor check the band, and have had only two fills since the initial band was installed. It did not require any cutting and as far as I am concerned it saved my life. I was diabetic and had high blood pressure, legs hurt all the time, I couldn't walk 100 feet without being winded, had sleep apnea and since the surgery within 2 months I was taken off all 12 pills...since then I have been on so many Vitamins to keep me healthy, but they are still cheaper than all those pills and insulin. Good luck on your decision. Feel free to contact me anytime. I see you are an early riser..so am I. Take care...Shirleyj.
