Question have you ever had this surgery??

Hello I was watching tv the other day and saw something about a surgery. I didnt get the name of it but it was for overweight people.They did something where they ried bands around your stomache to make it smaller so it is impossible to overeat. It is suspose to help you lose lots of weight.

has anyone heard of this or had it done?
does it really work?
I am overweight and looking for some solutions any help?

Do some research on the net about it to see what results are. But unless your severely obese and really out of options, don't go for surgery. Diet and exercise is always best, this just forces ya to eat better instead of will (Cause you'll get sick =P).

I thought you were pregnant. Alot of the weight you have is because of the pregnancy. Give yourself a few months after you deliver before considering surgery.

A friend of mine was heavy all his life. He had gastric bypass, which leaves room enough for your tummy to hold about 2-6 oz of food at one serving. He eats 5-6 oz of food 6 times a day.
He went from 410 to 180 (5'10") in 16 months.
IF IN FACT YOU ARE PREGNANT, dont get discouraged with weight gain, its normal , and most of all healthy for your unborn baby. I was 96 lbs all my life (5'2) and gained 60 lbs!!!!166! Thats alot on my petite frame, i literally looked as if i would explode. When my child was born, i was told by my hubby id NEVER be the same,, boy did i prove him wrong, in 4 months i was back down to 94, of course a severe colicky baby helped me lol. We are now divorced for 12 yrs lol.
Off topic, and rambling, but if your pregnant, your body will lose alot at birth, and the remaining water will not deplete itself from your body, until about 6 months post partum, then you can work with getting the extra fat off. Breastfeeding helps a great deal in weight loss after birth.
