Newbie here, still trying to decide if the band is right for me. Would you all suggest it to others and how often do you PB??

I have had a wonderful experience with my band so far and would recomend it to anyone that is willing to make a lifestyles change. I think it is very important for you to do all the research you can and weigh the pros and cons before you have the band done. I'm 3 months post op and am down 34 pounds. I love my band. I will say That I have had a few times that I've pb'd but it has been on something that was to dry or when I am in to big of a hurry and didn't chew something well enough. If you eat slowly and avoid foods that get stuck easily you will probably not have to much trouble. Good luck on your research and on deciding to get banded. The band is a great tool and when used properly it can help you achieve goals you never thought possible. There are lots of people on this board who are within a few pounds of being at goal. The band is awsome!!!!
