Congrats to you. I am so excited for you. I am just starting on this journey. (the whole insurance thing and etc.) Hopefully not to long and I can officially join all of you 'bandsters'.

Thanks so much for the thread links. My thinking is the same as yours. I REALLY like the band. Just a BIG life changing decision and I am afraid of making the 'wrong' choice. I think I just need to listen to my instinct. My thinking is that I didn;t want by-pass because I do not want to loss that fast. That just freaks me out. (not that it is not something good for others-I just don't feel it is right for me) I guess I am still one of those people that think 'if you loss it to fast it is to good to be true and it will come back plus some extra. The whole thing with the cutting and rerouting scares me. I have always tried to be an active person and if I could just get about 50 pounds off I would be motivated to MOVE again. I have lost weight the old fashioned way SEVERAL times but once I slack off on the exercising I always gain it back. I want to do it the 'right' way and I think the band would be just what I would need to be able to do that. Thanks again for the information. It helps alot knowing others are out there that struggle or have struggled with the same things.
