Hello, I too went through Dr. Nurmel @atrue Resukts Scottsdale! I was banded June 6. I would like a buddy/ mentor if anyone is interested. Oh.. My name is Staci

Victoria Secret bras are the best in my opinion! There are many different brands to chose from, you just have to see which is what you are looking for! They will size you as well! They are pricey, but worth every penny! I personally love the bombshell!

My fav is Victoria's Secret Body by Victoria Full coverage...exactly as you described needing but super comfortable also, cute prints and make the boobs look fabulous! They are kinda pricey but I buy them during their semi-annual sale and they have great sizing options too. Good luck =)

My name is Staci. I was banded on 6/6 and so far I am loving it! I also had a hernia repair and recovery went pretty good! I had the gas pains that everyone seems to go through! I didn't have a pre-op diet and so far have lost 23 lbs! I have about 43 lbs to go! I have been feeling pretty good and have been happy with things so far! Looking forward to this journey with you guys

Your opinion is valid as is your experience.
But saying blanket statements like "the band isn't a long term device" isn't helping anyone. If you can't back up your statement with facts then they're nothing more than a futile attempt at a scare tactic.
Stick to your opinion and your experience and stop with your ridiculous fear mongering. Problem solved.

Happy Birthday! Yesterday was my birthday and I had a small piece of my cake, the size of a deck of cards.. Hate to think of all those calories though! I am 6 weeks post op and I haven't really screwed up till now :/ well, Happy Birthday again!

Great job! You look amazing! I bet you are so proud of yourself!!

It seems to me from your post that your problem isn't your band, it's a lack of a good doctor and information. Losing your records? That's inexcusable- and it's also something that can get them in a lot of trouble legally. Being embarrassed to go out because stuck issues isn't normal. Neither is reflux. It sounds like you spent the majority of your banded life too tight.
I'm sorry you have had a bad experience, but the band IS a great tool when used properly. I've lost over 220 pounds in 18 months and my band is definitely in the "sweet spot" and has been for a long time. The band has never disrupted my life- it saved my life.
Saying the band doesn't work is completely untrue- I'm living proof it does work. But, it only works when the person with the band actually does what is necessary to be successful with it and they have good aftercare.
Best wishes.
