OMG!! On my way to work this morning I must have seen 8 HUGE Billboards and about 5 commercials on the radio about "LapBand Surgery". What a bunch of false advertising!!! They tell you - "If you need to lose 50 lbs then get the lap band it will save your life!". What they don't tell you is that this is a struggle and the band is a tool not a solution. I can only speak for myself but I fight with myself everyday and think about everything that I have to do to help myself and my band. They make it sound like the weight is just going to come off once you get the surgery. You still have to diet and exercise to get the weight off. It's gotten to the point where some people in my office are starting to make a joke out of it. So Fustrating - I hate those billboards!!:thumbup:

I am in complete agreement with you.

It;'s disgusting. I would never even CONSIDER using one of those facilities.

HH

That commercial for the Realize band is the worst! It is so cheesy!

Has anyone saw the commercial with the 'bariatric surgeon' talking about that stupid bar that's supposed to keep you full like you've had WLS? SO stupid!
