  • With the exception of one or two, the only people I see complaining (or freaking out) are those who have recently been banded. Most are still in the healing post-op phase. Did not gain all your weig

Not as long as you keep following the process!

Did not gain all your weight in 30 days, can't expect miracles right away.

All weight loss at that time is from the pre-op and post-op diet regime. Sooner or later you will be on regular food. Then you have to learn to live and use the band.

It took me 3-4 months before things started to fall in place. Six months till everything started to work the way I had hoped it would.

And I am still learning things all the time.

If you stick to the rues, you should have NO problem at all.

It's true! If you maintain a healthy lifestyle and do what you're supposed to do, and listen to your body, you'll not gain back a pound!

This was pretty much my deal too. I didn't start really learning how to work the band until about four months into it.

When I was first banded I weighed 356...

The other day I went to my Dr. , and was weighed. I weigh 246 now, and still losing....

So yes,,,, It does really work, as long as you do your job with the tool Your Band.
