This is my first message and it will be brief. I have not yet done the banding. I have an older brother who lost form 415 to 255 on the Gastric bypass. I'm 315 and would like to get to 200. I have yet to pull the trigger on this, just getting my feet wet a bit. I actually think I'll do it but have a new business that is just beginning to cover all the bills. I do worry about hair loss, the replacement diet and any complications that might cost me more $$ down the path. Any comments ?
