I have been overweight since I was a teenager. I tried many different diets. In 2008 I got the lapband and lost a fair amount of weight, but ended up regaining it all and then some. I became depressed and my self-esteem went down because I felt like a failure :( . After much thought I decided to try again, but with a different tool (revision to a gastric bypass). I had surgery on 8/1/13 and so far I am very happy with my decision. I am determined not to fail again. I will keep you posted on how my story unfolds. :rolleyes:
