I have been looking into banding for so long and now it seems like I need to either do it, or get over it. I am about 100 lbs. overweight and am so discouraged as I feel like I have tried everything. This just seems so drastic. Worse yet, my husband was also very over weight, but has lost about 105 lbs. in the last year with diet and exercise. I think he does not understand why that has not worked for me. Feeling selfish about spending the money too. I am just wondering if anyone else can either talk me out of going to Mexico for the band or tell me that it is worth it. I have been overweight for about 13 years, and obses for about 7 of those. I still remember fit and slim and that idea is really hard to give up. HELP! Stop the insanity, I think I once heard someone say.:mad:
