Good morning everyone:

I really appreciate this forum, so many "Giving" people here.

Here's my issue - People remind us that "It's only a tool", which says we are basically on our own. A shovel by itself cannot dig a hole, we have to wield the shovel, and that is work. Good I understand that. As with a shovel - our "Work" is magnified by the use of the shovel, (better than a tee spoon). I hope that is what they mean by "tool". I intend to bring my effort to the "Tool", but my effort, to date has not been enough. Am I correct in saying that the band will magnify my effort?

My understanding is that for the period after surgery and until restriction, it will be more "Me" and less "band". After restriction the band will be doing most of the work for me. Is this correct?

Regards

Hal

I do both. I overeat with big meals plus snack in between. This is why I know I have to do something, and I have a feeling the lapband may be the tool I need to keep me in check.
