Hello all!!! i was banded on dec 17, 2007, best decision i have ever made im a little over 10 months out and so far i have lost 85lbs. i havent felt this good since i was in my early 20's. to anybody thinking about it or not sure if they should have the surgery, DO IT!!!!!!!! but remember the band isnt the only solution, you MUST change your eating habbits and think NUTRITION!!!! i do know a few people who have had the surgery and have little success, but they have not followed the nutritional guidlines that were set by their doctor and nutritionist. It is not EASY but beleive me, well worth it. I have had no complications, the only issues i have had is eating to fast and throwing up after, which is my own fault. Hope to hear from anybody who has questions or comments or their own stories
