After much waffling and indecision, I've decided to go through with it.   I'm scheduled to be banded on June 15!
Because I was not optimistic about getting approved, I really buckled down during the 90-day insurance-required diet program, and then continued it pretty much until my surgery date.  
So, I definitely made a big dent in my overall weightloss before surgery.  
I'm down 44 pounds pre-op, and have 74 pounds to go post-banding.I am very nervous about the surgery, less nervous about afterwards. 
My main problem with yo-yo dieting has always been hunger and portion control, not quality of food. 
  I truly enjoy healthy eating (and cooking!) ....  I just eat WAY too much, even though it's good stuff!
Hopefully the Lap-Band will help me over this final hurdle and aid me in finally acheiving my goal of not only getting TO a normal weight, but STAYING there too -- forever!  :)
