Like I said, your experiences are valuable but you tend to overstate and exaggerate. And I too have the right to comment, challenge and offer my own opinions and what I believe to be the facts. It's an open forum remember? To allow you to distort the truth wouldn't be fair to new members who come here for a fair idea of what they're in for. But please do continue to post your own experience as I agree we need to hear your story since it could be someone else's outcome as well?

I agree with you about offering your own experiences with the band. Many of your concerns could apply to a few who are banded and if they can avoid the pain and suffering I applaud your advice.

This is an open forum and some people may not agree with your conclusions or opinions. That's just the way it is. And, some people may hold you accountable for distortions you make regarding WLS. If you're thin skinned this may not be the place for you as most of us are having success and offering support and advice to other members who are looking for advice and an uplift.
