In the beginning I really thought the same thing. I decided what did I have to lose? It was a huge decision for me to take the first steps and I thank God that I did it! I am 2 and half yrs out and down 88 lbs. Went from a size 14 to a size 2, best thing I ever did for ME! Good luck in your process and I hope you make the right choice for YOURSELF

Yes it does work. If it will work for you, will be up to you.

The band is a tool. It is not the easy way out. And it will not do the work for you. If you are committed to losing the weight and realize that you do have to follow the rules, it will work.

I was very determined to get healthier, and I followed all the rules and did everything that the Dr said to do. I am amazed at how well it is working.

I could always lost 30 to 40 pounds easily, but I could never keep it off. I would get bored with any diet I was on, and start thinking I could eat normally and be fine. It never worked. Plus I always gained back an extra 10 or 15.

This is a great tool and I wish you luck with your journey.

Will you work with it or against it?

I Just got the vsg with Mario Alberto Almanza Reyes in Tijuana mexico, it was only 5,200 including the flight, I lost 50 lbs in 1.5 months, Im sooo happy with the surgery, I just want to thank him everyday and the team too! Dr if you are reading this, thank you, you changed my life, I love you guys! and No it didnt hurt, on the first day it was a little painfull but they gave you something for the pain, after that, it went away and I was ok in 2 days! I highly recommend this beutiful dr who changed my life and my low self esteem!

Not bad gcruz. You have made a total of 3 posts and 2 of them are on this thread advertising your Dr.

Zenaida I suggest you ignore these posts as this poster may be being paid to promote his/her DR.

As to whether the band will work for you then I am sure it will. Prior to surgery we all have doubts - this is perfectly normal. But so long as you follow your Dr's instructions there is no reason why you too shouldn't be successful.
