My health is my business and if I follow the band rules, I will be eating more carefully, Portion Control, better diet, etc. That is how I will be loosing weight (I have my fingers and toes crossed !). Band or no band - it's up to me.

When I had the cardio stress test - the cardiologist saw two possible blockages. He mentioned: you may have moved or it could just be your breast. As soon as he said that - well, I KNEW i moved to itch the side of my breast. I had never had any type of test done so I didn't know when the the tech said - don't move - she meant - do not move whatsoever under penalty of death ! The cardio wanted to do confirm (and I did too) but twice I went for an MRI and the techs were not able to get a good vein to shoot the dye in. Very, very frustrating.
Finally, after trying twice I met with the cariologist and told him - I know I moved during the first test - what can we do? I was then scheduled for a dobutermine echo (I think) and that showed that all was well. From the first stress test to the 'all is well' was just under two months. So, yes, this was a set back but I'm okay with that ... just more time for me to get my head around this new life.
Learn from me - do not move !!
Good luck !
