I was banded on sept 8, 2008 and have lost 36lbs. my daughter was banded 5 weeks before me and has lost over 50lbs. we are feeling great!!!! My goal is 150#, it all depends on your md. I did not go gastric it has many drawbacks for me. Too invasive, i have read and seen many complications. and no reversal possible without more pain. If the band didnt work you have a simple removal. Please these coments are based on my life. You have to believe in what you are about to do other wise you will never feel good about your final desicion. Pray and ask the lord for guideness and help. ben age 59 Puerto Rico benitogarcia523

Our weakest point is through our desire to satisfy our cravings and desire to eat!!! God speed and stay well!!!! ben
