The manufactures of the bands are really creative with deception.

The band makers have spent fortunes on advertising (I've seen/heard almost no ads for any other type of WLS).
Their marketing was pretty good too, to leave a concept of "less invasive" in absolutely every persons head that has seen or heard any of their adds, despite it being a lie. The ads that were run constantly here (I'm in WA) were designed to pull on every heart string - very poignant and emotional, but no actual facts or info in the commercial.

Going with the "less invasive" surgery meant that I would go under the knife four times, under anesthesia six or seven times for testing and surgery, and having three CT scans in four months (the equivalent of having 600 x-rays, not to mention all the fluro's and actual x-rays I got during this time on top of those CT scans, I guess I should just be happy I am not glowing).
