Any Banded Smo's?

Helllo all it has been a while. I have been hanging out on the DS forum but because of fiinances ect...I am now looking into the Lab Band. I have questions. I have a high BMI (53). Have anyof you been this high and had the band? Did it work? How about needing plastic surg. after the loss? Is the loose skin as bad with banders VS those with the RNY or DS? Any and all help is apreciated. Jamie
