Is this really only a tool?

IMO I have only had it a few months but I will tell you it is just a TOOL. It does help but you need some self control on your part and motivation. If you don't have any of that then the tool will not work for you very well. If you do that and add exercise it only makes the band work that much faster. I LOVE MY BAND !!

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate the response I've gotten on this topic. The way "the tool" is spoken about in some posts just makes me think I am destined to fail. I can't wait to be part of the "Bandster" club!

Please don't think of failure at this early point in the game. You stepped up to the plate in acknowledging you weren't successful doing it alone (I tried for 20 years). That alone is more than many are willing to do for themselves. Your tastebuds will change...atleast mine did. Tool is a word befitting because just like proper eating is a tool to good nutrition, the band is a tool to aid in that process of losing weight. I'm so thankful I had this done and as someone said before, they can't imagine eating the same things they use to eat. That's me. I can't imagine polishing off an entire mushroom burger from Chilli's. Plus there is so much support on this website. Best to you!

MEdi fast won't work because the band does not restrict liquids

it is kind of a miracle

From what I'm reading on this site, it is a bit of a miracle. I've never seen so many people lose so much weight, keep it off, and live happier, healthier lives. It is inspiring.
