pls

Thanks so much Crystal for the encouraging words....guess I was expecting results more like the Gastric-bypass surgery...but then they lose their hair don't they? You're right, of course, slower is better...thanks again...pls

I would also like to know how long the bands are expected to last. If/when they "wear out" do we just get a replacement band? Thanks for any information...pls

Hi, I was banded on 16 Aug. I lost 6 pounds before surgery and haven't had the weight loss that I thought I would have since surgery. Realizing it took awhile to put the weight on, I was still hoping for faster results. Can anyone tell me what the average weight loss per week is after being banded? I had planned on losing about 20 lbs per month; is that unreasonable? thanks for the help...pls
