I too have been given drugs in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, and the year 2002 I fell for it again. I don't think they are the answer. It didn't help me learn new eating habits, deal with issues, or learn from bad choices. It definitely was a crutch. Along the way I too have had my trusted doctors arrested, found guilty, and serving time in jail. :) If you can, go with the band and learn somehow to control the hunger. Try exercising or some activity other than food to see if the hunger will go away. Just my 2cents from someone who has tried them all.
