Read an article the other day that they have pulled the band from the market in India. Surgeons there have found it to have too many complications and poor results.

Can you remember where you read it?

Does not surprise me at all!

I wish I saved the link, but didn't and can't find it again. It's very recent too. However, here are a few interesting ones. The first is law suits about 1-800-Get-Thin clinics and the other reference a study on complications.
