To phantom - the band is no picnic. For me, it doesn't do what I expected. For example, they claim it makes you feel full. It doesn't. It just stops food from going in. So I will eat two bites, have to stop, but still hear my stomach growling. But junk food slides through with no problem. So I was a slow loser, didn't lose half the weight I wanted to, and have recently started gaining. So I am thinking about other options.
