I do regret it very much. If had to do it again, I would NOT.

2 Reasons:

1:) Severe complications, one result being that my band is non-functional.

2:) I discovered afer the band became non-functional that i did indeed posess the ability to lose the weight without that kind of assistance. In other words, I found that (for me, and me alone) I never really needed it the first place.
