I am currently debating whether to have lapband surgey or not. I am afraid of being restricted, but know that I must do something because I am going in the wrong direction. I have long stopped the yoyo dieting because it is not good for your health either. Now I have difficulty breathing, walking, back pain, etc... My biggest hurddle is can I modify my eating habits to be successful. Every week I say I am just going to start eating right and then I fail to plan and follow through. So I just keep gaining. Did I mention being depressed because I do not have the will power to do what I know I need to do. I do not want more radical bariatric surgery, I want a behavior modifier so I still have to do the work. My insurance will not pay for surgery, so I would be a self-pay and if there are complications the cost may continue. I do not put a price on my health, but I am realistic with my financial situation. If I go this route, I want to be able to follow through with whatever comes. I am just in limbo!
