 I know the band works, I use to be 359 pounds when I first was banded in June of 2007.  I struggled with the band from the start.  I lost 50 lbs. The was it. i tried going back to the old diets that did no work in the first place, but it was no use.  I wasn't buying that the band could work.  When I finally gained 25 lbs back, I went to my surgeon to adjust the band, the port had twisted inside of me and inverted. He could no longer adjust the band. it had 9ml in it but now was useless.  I decided I wanted it out.  My friend just got sleeved and looked great with 30 lbs weight loss in 2 months. I am petrified of thr R-NY eventhough with my BMI 54.5, I should go for this.  I took my own advice and the advise of my surgeon to do the sleeve, and here I am, a fresh sleeve, post-op since July 14, 2010.  So far, I am 8 pounds down since my pre-op weight of 343!  My goal, to be under 300 pounds in 2 months, that's about 43 lbs.  I am going to to this!
