Welcome!

The best thing you can do is gain knowledge and then make an informed decision. The band has given a lot of us a second chance at a healthy life and it might do so for you!

Just remember...the band isn't the solution. The solution lies in the life you choose to lead after the band.

Balance your pros and cons... and I hope you make the best decision!

Hi I'm new here too ! I considered doing the band several years ago but never followed thru. Decided a few months ago to try again and am hoping to follow it all the way this time. I just feel so much better inside and out when I am losing weight. And since I won't be able to have my 2 - 3 day a week binges anymore in between, I'm hoping this will work for me. I'm out of options. Maybe we can get through this together.
