I'm in the decision making stage as to whether or not to have the band. I think I'm understanding that for several weeks after the banding your appetite is markedly decreased? Does the decreased appetite continue?.... I'm sure most of us have been on multiple diets and have for one reason or another, failed. I have always failed because I just plain get hungry. How does this procedure help you? Is it the fact that you can't eat more without getting sick? I do understand this is a lifestyle change but so are diets suppose to be. I'm not sure I understand what to expect from this,( its an aid but in what respect?) Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
