What I know: I would have surgery once a month to keep my band. If you have to ask if you are too tight you already are. The first 60 lbs is easy after that some dieting is required. You need a sense of humor with the band. There is no such thing as perfect restriciton. A Soft spot is on top of a babies head. My nose runs when its time to stop eating. If you get stuck bending over and touching your knees a couple times really helps. I am not scared of gaining my weight back because the band keeps me in line! I am the luckiest woman alive being able to loose 85 lbs. this year. Thank you to all who have supported me!
