Thanks for posting a positive on the band!

I believe as more and more individuals chose to have this type of WLS and as more time passes, more info will be presented with positives!

Nice article! Since my banding my diabetes has slowed down. I'm no longer taking insulin and feel much better. As time goes on I hope others look at the banding option. Although it is much slower it can be effective if you use the tool correctly. thanks for sharing this. Ron
