Hi, Mandee !

I did this completely by myself and its been great ! The scarring is very minimal (after 10 months all of the little ones are almost completely gone and the biggest one (about 1/2 inch) is getting there - I think it will be completely gone in the next 6 months or so. You will not find greater care anywhere - the folks at OCC are hands down the most caring, knowledgeable people. It was a wonderful experience. I have not followed all of the rules so my results are not typical. I am "back on the wagon" and am doing very well. But here's the silver lining: While I wasnt doing the right thing? I didnt gain ANY weight -- I just didnt lose a lot ! That has never happened to me before (before banding, I gained and lost the same 100 pounds about 5 times). So I should be much further along than I am - but I'm still losing -- its wonderful ! Its NOT a magic answer, not a silver bullet, its a

great TOOL. It will help you.

Best of luck !
