A gastric band is one of the most dangerous and painful operations you can have.

pizza? wow I can eat the top of a pizza only but I too can

eat the rest but much less. Salmon and Spinach still can't do and they are so healthy :biggrin: My band is a real snob...."she" loves really gourmet foods in little doses. I love my band and how it puts the cabash on power eating ...except for ice cream ...

Ahh the dastardly band! It surrounds the stomach with it's evil and insidious lair! Damn near squeezes the weight right off of those who dare!

It's amazing how ignorant people even get published. They'll make their buck anyway they can and they just assume that we haven't tried everything under the sun before reaching the decision to have it done. I'd love to tell her - lady, it's not what you see that causes the problem, it's what you don't see. If we were able to control our appetites, emotions, genetics and have great willpower, doesn't she think we would have done that a long time ago?
