With more and more people being over weight, there now is a heavy reliant on weight loss surgeries. There are many different types of surgery out there that will help people loose the weight they can not loose on their own. There is a surgery that puts a band on your stomach limiting the amount of food you eat.  This makes you less hungry which means you are not eating as much as you would normally eat.  Along with making the stomach smaller, this surgery also slows down your metabolism making you feel full for a longer period of time.   Yeah, this surgery sounds great, but there is one major downfall, its cost. It is very expensive to have the band put on your stomach, which means not as many people are in the range to have the surgery done who actually need it.
