One year Bandiversary

[Will T]

I am sincere when I say I do NOT regret it for ONE MINUTE. The trip, though there have been small hurdles, is worth them.

I know TOO many people suffering through diets who have not been successful. They hurt themselves, starve themselves, then go back to normal behaviors and waste all the pain and suffering and the weight comes back.

Robbyn, I've had no "pain" per se. When I eat my 8 chicken wings, I am FULL, just like I've been through Christmas dinner's two servings. I FEEL full, so I dont WANT to eat more. I haven't had a cola in a year, and I don't miss them (except once in a while with a great pizza). If you are debating in within yourself, know that *I* would have done it twenty years ago, knowing what I know now. Without a doubt. Dr. Ortiz was an excellent choice for my surgeon, and I recommend local people who talk to me to him.

Good luck with your decision! If you opt for the band, you'll be making a post like this in a year's time!!
