I don't see anything wrong with using the tools that are available to us to help us with our struggles. I wouldn't forego a prosthetic leg if I lost a leg, a kidney transplant if I needed a kidney, vitamins if I'm not getting all of my nutrients from food, and I don't see a problem with having a band put in to assist in getting healthy. That's MY take! :D People who don't think banding is necessary probably haven't ever had a weight problem.
