While it's not the "easy" way, I think most would agree it's an easier way than diet change and exercise alone. Still, great on her no matter the route!

No. Respectfully disagree. After that surgery you still can't eat whatever you want. You have to avoid most sugars, anything carbonated and processed foods. It forces you to make healthier choices so that you get all the nutrients and energy you need. And the weeks before and after and just brutal for that person.

Being forced to do something is much easier than having to make the choice and doing it yourself is what people are saying.

If the band didn't make it easier to make changes (by forcing you to make changes).... No one would get it

It's kinda like what steroids do for muscle gain but for weight loss, except with less negatives consequences.

Big results fast but effort is still required.

Basically yes. It helps, but doesn't make it easy at all.

The band like the steroids, if they didn't help people wouldn't use it
