Yes some family can be negative about it especially the ones that can diet and exercise faithfully and do well, but when you done it all tried diets diet pills and there is no miracle diet to loose weight its up to the individual and this tool is what it is still you are the one to make it happen. i tell everyone i had it done even complete strangers some ask questions other don't no biggy,,, no need to hide.. it was your choice. Good Luck -
after the first year of being banded i had a slip and cracked ribs from coughing so bad due to the band being too tight that caused the coughing especially at night, then my fault eating too much and vomiting every day for quite some time and did not know but it got so bad the stomach pain and antacid i had to go into the ER and that was all my fault yes i lost so much weight but the band had slipped and the Dr almost did not been able to fix it, but he did I did not want to have been the failed one I wanted this tool to work for my weight loss, So I suggest you still get checked It took alot for my band to slip but it could be something.. Need less to say i'm at a stand still with my weight since the fix and not got to a goal weight yet, but i'm determined exercise is a big key.

How did you do it in just a short time, yes the bigger you are it seems it does loose quicker, I was 230 and in 12 months lost 80 then the band slipped (still did not reach goal weight loss) put on 30 now since it its been 3 years and i'm at a stand still and feeling fat all over again, i,m having a hard time loosing now, and exercise is a key too and i'm being lazy
