I just now saw your post. I have the lapband but they are pretty much the same. Its an exciting time getting approved & getting ready for the change of a life time.
I just wanted to let you know (as everyone will tell you) the band is a small tool in the equation. YOU have to do the work, it will not do it for you. All the bad does is simply make you feel fuller faster (& that takes a couple of fills). You have to change your way of thinking & start to choose healthier food choices & to exercise.
I love my band & have lost 55 lbs in nearly 5 mons. I could have lost more for sure but I still deal w/some weak moments. Plus, I have needed a fill but with bad weather & vacation was not able to get it.
I just want to wish you the best of luck & let me know if you have any questions.
