There seem to be a lot of ads lately for the lapband...usually showing a woman who has lost 100+ pounds, apparently very easily, very quickly and without dieting. There is no mention that this is a surgical procedure (with associated risks) and that you must follow a calorie restricted diet and exercise regularly. And losing the weight is not easy, it takes patience and persistence and most of all it takes time (this is not a quick fix). I'm glad that people are getting to hear about the lapband...it's the misinformation that I have a problem with. I find the ads very misleading, but what do you guys think?

I hate to see this. I would never trust them, never.

but we are going to see this, it's a money making business.

it means we need to let any new people on this site know how important it is to find the best doctor possible!
