Mama2girls 28 Posted December 11, 2012 Did anyone have a surgeon that didn't seem fond of the band? Mine seemed a little against it due to all the complications he had seen. But he did say that if he had to choose anyone for the band that I would be the perfect candidate. I was banded last Thursday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted December 11, 2012 I believe that docs shy away from it because of lack of patient compliance. That is what causes most problems. Follow the rules and you will do fine. 2 DesertRose80 and ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mama2girls 28 Posted December 11, 2012 That's kind of what I was thinking. That with RnY weight loss is almost guaranteed... With band it's mostly the patient that controls the weight loss. I proceeded with great confidence that I will be successful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was surprised when I told someone, who obviously could use the surgery herself, that the band is not for everyone..... I see paitients everyday, and there are those who are responsible, and those that make you want to pull your hair out..... 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
