How did you find out about the Band?

Saw an advertisement for Dr. Spiegel in Houston magazine when I was sitting in the ENT's office to get checked for snoring. Shortly after I was diagnosed with OSA.

I live in San Diego and as I was driving down the freeway I saw a van that had an ad for weight loss surgery in Mexico, so I decided to start researching. I had my band placed a month later.

I was watching the Dr.Phil show and saw an advertisement that featured a woman who was my height and weight before and was so slim after banding. It was very inspiring. I was banded two months later.

My mom, aunt, & moms cousin all had the GB. I refussed to go through that with 2 young kids, cause I know of 1 person that had the bypass and he died because the staples broke open( which that scared me, for me to do it). So I seen the commericial like other and got online to check it out. Haven't been banded yet, checking it all out still. Any info would be greatful

I was gung ho for Gastric Bypass and a girl I work with had gastric Bypass and I was talking to her about getting GB, she actually talked me out of Gastric Bypass and told me aboutthe band....That started research on the internet which led me to this sight - and eventually my band!
