I had about 45 lbs to lose almost 3 years ago when I was banded in Monterrey Mexico. Every doctor in the US said that I was crazy... and I was. Crazy of just not being able to lose the weight. And, I tried EVERYTHING and it was totally a yoyo life. I have now lost all the weight I need to. I think that it was totally worth it... I call the lap band my medical will power. I have had some ups and downs with the fills, unfills, too tight, too lose etc. but it has been totally worth it and I would do it again in a minute. This will be the first summer in a long time that I am not mentally beating myself up about wearing shorts, bathing suits and having to go swim and to the beach. Life is too short to be so upset about weight. You need to do what is best for you and the rest of your life. Your mental health is part of your physical health too!!! : )
