I was just banded last week on the 14th. I kept thinking, maybe I could still lose the weight without this great tool. I just had to look back over the last 13 years to realize I couldn't and this was going to be a great thing. I am still getting used to some of the aches and pains, but I had surgery on a Friday and was back at work on Tuesday. Stay strong and remember the reasons why it will be so worth it! Do I love it - not yet. Will it be the best investment in my health and wellness - you bet!
Good Luck
Sandy
