Did anyone have a surgeon that didn't seem fond of the band? Mine seemed a little against it due to all the complications he had seen. But he did say that if he had to choose anyone for the band that I would be the perfect candidate. I was banded last Thursday.

I believe that docs shy away from it because of lack of patient compliance. That is what causes most problems. Follow the rules and you will do fine.

That's kind of what I was thinking. That with RnY weight loss is almost guaranteed... With band it's mostly the patient that controls the weight loss. I proceeded with great confidence that I will be successful.

Committment = Success!

I'm so excited!!!

Bingo!!!

I was surprised when I told someone, who obviously could use the surgery herself, that the band is not for everyone.....

I see paitients everyday, and there are those who are responsible, and those that make you want to pull your hair out.....
