I, likely as many who decide on gastic surgery, have been heavy all my life.  Diet after diet, loss/gain cycle, yada, yada, yada.I was set to have lap band surgery in August of 2009, but backed out 3 weeks before the surgery was scheduled.  I thought thatperhaps I had not done everything I could do myself, since I am oh so knowledgeable about nutrition and exercise. So instead of resorting to expensive and dangerous surgery, I would re-committ eveything I had to lose a reasonable amount of weight, and then just stay there.Well, that did not work.  I simply eat too much.  I "normally" do not eat for the wrong reasons, I just consume too many calories for my body to burn off.And I eat a fairly nutritious diet, with little "crap" food.  I've decided that it is not shameful of me to need help, and I am sincerely hoping that the lap band will help me learn to be satisfied with less food.  And eat to sustain myself.I'm scared, to say the least, that I won't learn how to control myself, but I am sure going to try, and hope that this tool will be what I need to consume less.  My surgery is in two weeks, and I have gotten myself ready.
