I started in October. Truth be told I sorta dragged my feet a bit on this and thats why it has taken so long for me to finally reach this point. I want to lose weight. I kept thinking I could do it without surgery, but who was I kidding? I haven't had much success when it came to weight loss for most of my life. I was a fat teen and I am a fat adult. Its time to be healthy and active and happy. And hopefully this is the key to success. Lapband seems less drastic than bypass although I have been told the results aren't as great. I am determined to make it work for me and really reach my goal of being less than 200.
