Question:
How do you decide if you are going to have a fobi ring and is it always needed?

What are your thoughts on the the fobi ring? What are the pro's and con's of it?    — Chrissy W. (posted on January 19, 2002)

if u r referring to the silastic band, then i think it is up to ur doctor's procedure & not ur choice. my surgeon uses it on all his patients. the purpose of it is to control the flow of the food as it leaves ur pouch. i only eat 1 oz at a time per my drs instructions & do not experience hunger again for at least 3 hours. im sure its the silastic band at work.
