Kiki1616- dont feel bad or díscouraged. You are not alone with your feelings or hopes. I can honestly say that I seriously thought that I would get skinny just by wearing the band. I'm ashamed to admit this but it's true. And I think a lot of people who wud never admit it hoped tbe same. Before I got mine, I would see so many old friends who were once obese that are now skinny pins. They all said I got the Lapband. So over the years I said enough gaining 60 pounds a year. I wanna get one of those bands that makes me feel full and get skinny. And that is so far from what tbe band actuallt does and Is. It's a medial device that will HELP you lose weight by forcing you to reduce your amount of food you eat. Thus making you less hungry by the next meal. That's all it is. If u don't diet or follow rules it's basically just a device around ur stomach. If u don't understand how it works like I didn't. I always stare at a picture of a banded stomach. And it makes u think about what type of work ur body had to do to get the food down from above the band. I'll tell you what tbe secret is. CHEW CHEW CHEW.
