I was banded on December 27 2012. So far I have lost 12lbs following the Dr. Orders. I'm still sore and have just gotten an ear ache. This band seems to be working but you have to have your mind set and ready to loss weight. No cheating!!!!

That's true! The band doesn't stop you from putting the wrong foods in your mouth. This is all up to YOU. When you start getting your fills(in about 6 weeks) it will "assist" you in feeling fuller once a proper amount of saline solution is inserted in the band. This will take several times before the doctor and yourself understands the restriction. You did the right thing by banding for better health and hopefully a better quality of life.

Best Wishes

That is correct Chad, you deff.have to have your mind set when having any kind of weight loss surgery. 2013 is going to be a very very good year for us.

Cheers to Health & Happiness my friend....
