Hello all, I am looking into having the gastric band implanted. I have been dieting off and on since 7th grade, enjoying only brief periods of thin-ness and long stretches of gaining weight back, feeling miserable, and then starting over with a new diet. The last three years (since 2007) have been particularly bad. I got down to about 185 pounds, I looked awesome, and started exercising with my new boyfriend, who thought I needed to lose about 10-20 pounds. Don't misunderstand him, he thought I looked great already. Unfortunatlely, that was the last time he thought I looked fabulous. I started gaining weight faster than I ever have before, and now here I sit at 240. It really sucks, and I'm ready to do something drastic. I still exercise, and I watch what I eat nearly all the time. I'm hoping to go to Germany or Belgium for gastric band surgery as soon as possible. Any and all feedback is appreciated, and I look forward to getting to know some people that can relate to my story.
