Hiya!I am new to all of this! Basically this is my story - I am 21 years old and have always had a problem with my weight I am a binge eater and a total comfort eater - i go over the top and then try to lose weight and go really strict and controlling on my food and so I am always yo yoing. I have spoken to the doctor and I have such a negative mindset (which I hate) I stress over the way I look and how other people view me. I am anti depressants and my weight completely controls my life and I have got to the point that I am fed up of trying and putting it back on again and that the only way I can get my life back is with the band! However I am sooooo nervous!! I have always had such bad eating habits that I am scared and dont trust myself - what if I still eat crap? have any of you found it different after having the band, I am motivated to lose weight by thinking of all the dresses I could buy and could get noticed for once but I am petrifed, what if I have this done and nothing changes, and my emotions still make me want to eat will i still binge or is that physically impossible. what did everyone else find? I just can't stress how nervous I am - I know this is the only chance I have to do something wihtout things getting out of hand and doing something silly but like everyone says its not a miracle cure but i was hoping that with exercise (which i do about 3 times a week anyway) would fall off just because my stomach makes me eat less?!?!I just can't imagine carrying on this way I just want to be able to live my life and enjoy going on nights out without getting scared and comparing myself to others!help?!?! (sorry about all the negativity my mind is just in overdrive!)Becky xxx

Thankyou so much for your post! that sounds exactly like me! I am willing to put the work in on my emotions but I always have been and negativity gets me in a spiral, i try and try and try to talk myself positive with the doctor etc but its hard and I just hope that with emotion eating it wont bring my downfall as in my head the band is the only thing left that can help and i thought that maybe for an eater like me it would really help! fingers crossed! I have got a good 8 stone i want to lose! eek! and christmas is my fave time of year and I will only be 4 weeks post op! thats going to be tough! after I have had the surgury do I feel no restrictions or anything in my food/lose weight and till i have my first fill? sorry novice here!! xxxx
