well...just wanted to say that my 60-70lbs.....is frankly almost 100pds...i needed to lose, and have been on a diet since i was 9y/o!.....i have been on every diet from here to timbuktu...and with excellent results from them!......but i lost the same 45-50lbs 7 times.....and i used to mentally abuse myself for it. so it was not an easy choice...but i want to worry about other things than my fat rolls.....going into my 30's. I also want to tell you that every surgery has risks....and when you sign a consent form to go to the OR you are saying you have been made aware. Majority of pt's with problems from their band, have abused it or pushed it's limits! Now some people just have bad luck...and that's all there is to it. it has given me such control in my life. I'm not stuffed and thinking about my next meal at the same time. all of my best girlfriends have done it.....and one has lost 80lbs and the other 65lbs....that's alot of weight....just because it wasnt 100pds doesnt mean its a small weight loss....that's almost 100pds!.....i did not get aggressive fills, i paced myself.....not had any vomiting at all from food. people always say its a foreign object in your body.....yep but so are breast implants,pacemakers,butt implants,fake hips and knees.....they help you...some help with image.....some help you to live.....I'M FORTUNATE MINE HELPS ME TO DO BOTH! its okay to be nervous/scared about it......but it's better to be educated on what ever you choose!.....some people are in such a hurry to lose it....you will get there remember ,now it will be forever. when you work with it!....and I was suffering even if some people would'nt consider me heavy!
