I have chickened out guys! I think I'm going to give it one last attempt to lose the weight and then if I'm not able to do it, I will do the surgery. I don't know if my nerves has gotten the best of me or what, but I feel that I need to at least give it one last attempt to lose on my own. The risks are just too high for me to not give it one last honest try! I truly feel that I can do it this time. Wish me luck! I have 60 lbs to lose overall. I purposely gained over 20 lbs just to have the surgery! Damn!

I am so sorry to hear that. That being said, you probably aren't ready if you gained 20 lbs just to have the surgery. I wish you the best and we are here should you decide to come back.

I had 2 false starts on the band. If you can make it without it great. If not, it will be there if you change you mind. It is a non-trivial decision and should only done when you know it is the right choice for you.
