I'm 19ys old and 240lb. i want to lose weight with gastric band. i tried every diet. i want to know if i should do it or not and why ( pro and cons).

Cons: Pro- you may lose weight- Con- it doesn't teach you good eating habits which you need to learn for the rest of your life. Eating a healthy diet high in fruits, vegetables and in moderation is the way to go. With the band, you will limit your intake, but not learn how to eat properly.
