    Is the band a waste of money?

    hi all, please remember, your band is a tool, not a cure all. it is up to you how you use it as to how sucessful you will be at losing the wt. with that being said, i would do it all over again. i had medical insur to pay for my surgery. i would have paid cash if i had no insur. it has definetly been the best wt loss method for myself. this is also a very big life style changing experience, not just another failed diet plan. best of luck to all of you & much success on your journey. god bless, p.j. robinson

    Questions from a newbie...

    dear newbies, yes,what you are feeling is normal. this comes from a 16th month old bandster & a nurse who takes care of bariatric patients ( both lap band & bypass pts). it took me a couple of wks to feel somewhat normal. i had gas issues as well. walking several times a day is the best for this. tums & gas-x work wonders too. it would take me 3-4 hrs to get done 8 0zs of protein shake. you just have to have patience on this journey. remember to drink & eat slow. take care & god bless, p.j.
