KWCRNP,
I'm 55, and I would like to lose at least 70 pounds and get rid of my high blood pressure and sleep apnea. The thought of losing 85% of my stomach, and all the issues associated with it, is not appealing. I'm a compulsive overeater, so I've joined OA, and I'm going to start seeing a therapist who deals with eating disorders. I've talked myself out of the sleeve surgery the past two years. I'd like to think that with therapy, a good support group, and dedication to fitness and nutrition, that I could achieve my goal with the band.
