Why do you say this? Do you think it is better? What do you think would be the difference for you if you had GB? I'm still on the fence and am very interested in why you would think this..... J

I have been strugling with this very concern for days, I just logged in to post my concern as a question. I am scared to death to go through with the surgery, only to find that I still eat when bored, upset or depressed...... How is this problem dealt with?

Thanks for all the comments, they are very helpful. Now I just need to build the courage to tell my wife this is what I want to do.....

One more question.... What do you tell people? At least early on? I think I need this becasue I am weak. I would never want to tell people I did this for fear they would think so also.

I have been reading the forum posts for about three days now, and have not seen many comments on a few items. I am looking for some comments that may help me with my descision. 1) Is anyone having success with the band restrictions only, meaning no real excercise regime. I have time to walk a couple of times a day, but no time to go to a gym. 2) How soon did you go back to work? Do you think you could have gone back to work sooner? To a desk job? 3) Has anyone regreted this surgery? How many reversals are you aware of? Thanks. I appreciate your candor and honesty. J.
