Hi! I saw your message to SanDiegoUberMom and thought I would chime in. How are you doing in the decision process? My opinion is if you can and have lost a significant amount of weight in the past but never really kept it off the band may be right for you. At this point I would say its 50% band 50% my effort.
But if you are morbidly obese and have many other related health problems then a major procedure may be more appropriate.Thats just my two cents...PS I went to Dr. Oliak in Orange and I LOVE him and his staff!
