I don't know why others would tell you that the band will not work for someone with a BMI over 50.
I would think that your weight will drop even faster than mine has. I started with a BMI of 42.
I'm glad you found LBT. I have found it very helpful to read what other people post and the support here is great. I hope all goes well for you Monday !!! See ya on the other side!
