Hi all, I have had trouble with my weight for years and years, have done Optifast and lost 20 kgs but of course, over time put that back on. I'm seeing a surgeon in two weeks and am very nervous. Do I want to do this or not? I definately want to learn to control my weight better as I am scared of future health issues. Did most people feel the same? Are there any questions that I should ask when I see him? Most of you seem happy with the results of your lap bands but are there down sides. I just want to be aware of all or most issues before I go down this road. Can anyone help me?

Thanks people. I agree, how come people can have plastic surgery and that is ok but for us to do something about our health, not our looks, we are labels as cheats. I am not yet done and was scared of peoples reactions so I have told no one but my husband. Unfortunately, my family and country town of residence are all pretty judgemental so it will remain that way. Mums the word.
