I weigh 185 pounds and have been yo-yo dieting for years and I am now contemplating on the possibility of the lap-band surgery. I only need to lose 40-45 pounds but I just can't seem to be able to do it on my own. I have been able to lose a lot of weight in the past but only to gain them back much faster in the end. Am I crazy to be thinking about surgery. Please advise!!!

Mary you are not crazy. I was in your situation a couple of years ago. I wanted to lose 30 40 pounds and I just couldnt do it and not to mention I was a smoker and I wouldnt quit in fear of my gaining more weight. I went to Dr. after Dr. seeking the lap band but my BMI wasnt high enough and before long i was 40 pounds heavier and 6 months later I was banded and though I am having some serious up and downs I am glad I got the band. It takes work I mean really work self controll so really make sure this is what you want / need. Take and Good Luck, Michelle
