Sure, you are welcome to share your opinion here, but to say that you don't want people to make the same mistake as you is ridiculous. Not everybody has issues with their band, and a good majority go into it knowing it isn't "all roses" and that there is a chance of it not working. It sounds like you weren't mentally prepared for it either and thought it was going to be some miracle fix. Not to say that it's the reason the band didn't work, but I think it heightened your disappointment and frustration when it didn't.
If you have cancer and a doctor says you can have a surgery that might help, but it might not, would you get it? Of course you would. I am almost 9 months out, lost almost 90 pounds, have never thrown up, and never gotten stuck. How's that for a success story for you?
For every failing band there are multiple people who have success. Just because you and others haven't had luck with it, it doesn't mean that nobody should try it.

I started looking at it when I was 16 because my dad had it when I was 14. When I was 19 I started the process and was banded 3 months before my 20th birthday. Best decision I ever made. I'm 6 months out and down 75 pounds.

I work full time and am a full time college student, so sometimes that's about all I have time for ha ha. I usually only drink one shake a day, just liked to know what my options were : )

Not sure why you say only 30 pounds like it's a bad thing girl, that's awesome! I'm track on my fitness pal on my iPhone for sure. And I just make sure to stay at or under 1,000 calories every day. That's really about it! Protein first, VERY little sugar, and I try to avoid a lot of carbs.
Keep up the good work, you are doing fine!
