So glad you guys commented on this thread - I go in July 6th - I am scared enough as it is without all of my asshole friends telling me all of this misinformation. People have gone so far to say I will die from this. My Aunt told me that I would have to have medication to kill my immune system because my body would continually be trying to reject the band - (stupid) I really want this to work and am so nervous, But I am doing it - I am done with this extra weight.
