Agreed!!!

I second that emotion. I don't think people generally do it to be rude but sometimes all I can do is shake my head.

Wow! Congrats!!

I saw it slowly, so so slowly. If not for the photographs I won't not have believed I was loosing weight. First off I know I'm a slow loser, us it took me 16 fills to get some restriction. So I can honestly say as of late that I love my band and I love my results. If I had one bit of advice it would be that everyone loses at a different pace depending upon life style and the desire to lose. So don't compare to much- because your journey is unique! Best wishes!!!

Wow, So sorry to read about your struggles. The band isn't for everyone. The two women I spoke with the most at the beginning of our collective journies have since had their bands removed and switched to the sleeve. Personally my journey was so incredidily slow I wondered for three years why I did it. May 21, 2012 will be my four year baniversery and now I'm happy. Lana

Congrats!!!!

I am adding in my two cents. I love my band. Although it took three years to get some restriction- its working for me. Two of the other women I was banded with have already had theirs removed. It really is a commitment. I dedicated myself to my fills, it took 16 for me. Pre banding I never heard of anyone having so many fills. If I had I might have re considered but now I'm glad, I must admit that the first three years were frustrating and I had to constantly remind myself why I wanted it. It's just a tool. If you don't use it properly you won't get the results you do desire. Good luck!!!
