Hi I'm new here too ! I considered doing the band several years ago but never followed thru. Decided a few months ago to try again and am hoping to follow it all the way this time. I just feel so much better inside and out when I am losing weight. And since I won't be able to have my 2 - 3 day a week binges anymore in between, I'm hoping this will work for me. I'm out of options. Maybe we can get through this together.
