Hi

It is always so frustrating when you know that there is a certain amount of hype and misinformation about anything. In reality there is a certain amount of danger involved with everything we do.

We are very luck on these sites as we are able to sound off ideas and get feedback. We have support from our family, other banders and our surgeons. Perhaps as you say this woman didn't have fills and had even had the procedure in another country – not wise to have a Dr that is not easily accessed when needed.

I guess the band in relatively new and will take some years to become the norm and every time the op is done, the surgeon is refining his technique. That can only be a good thing as it becomes more popular. Unfortunately in the media something that doesn't have an element of sensationalism isn't such a great story so that is perhaps why we always hear the negative. Would also explain why the positive is a little side note tucked away on the next page.
