In my area there is a Food and Mood class at a behavioral health office. I wanted it to go on and on....

A few months ago I attended the orientation for Lap Band. I must say I came out of there scared. Food getting stuck, band eroding, leaks that would mean replacement, etc. So, over the course of the next few months - I've decided I'm going to do this anyway. Really it's no choice. heart bypass in a few years or do lap band now and have a high probability of not having the heart bypass. But I'm still scared. How do you "unstick" food? Does it eventually go down?

20 years or so ago, I did a drastic weight loss program with a doctor and lost 70 pounds. I was then wearing as size 11. When I looked in the mirror I saw a fat person. My weight I have used all of my life to protect me from people that may hurt me. It worked well growing up, however now this behavior is not needed. Now, I have to look at all the ways continuing to keep the weight hurts me. We all know what they are, and besides health there is self-esteem. I've signed up to do this. I'm just beginning (after years of research). Finally committed. I'm doing this for me!
