I get banded in 3 days. I've had those questions when I've been losing weight while on the pre-surgical diet. It has to be a decision one is comfortable with. I just know if I lose weight again without this tool, I will probably max my weight out yet again. I've been a yo-yo for 30 years. That's all it got be was depressed, heart disease, pre-diabetes, decreased motivation, and a wardrobe from 34 waist to 50. I'm nervous but hopeful.
If you decide not to band, at least be sure you'll be able to make the life-long changes also. My problem is not losing the weight...I'm an expert on that. It's changing habits, and not caving in to getting that full feeling of a meal well prepared and enjoyed..over and over and over.....
Good Luck,
