I am 36 and it took me over a year of contemplating getting the ban before I finally did it. I was nervous and scared to have surgery, but I also wanted to be there for a long life to watch my kids grow up. My dad has had a stroke and 2 heart attacks, high blood pressure and diabetes, and I knew if I didn't do something, I would be right there too someday. I don't regret it at all. best decision I ever made, but it was my decision, no one else's. You are the only one who can decide. Write out a list of the pros and cons of getting banded or staying overweight and unhealthy.

Wishing you the best luck!

this is the reason why I have choosing to have this weight loss surgery for the same reason you just explain. I will keep everyone posted step by step.

Yep ! When you get Banded it is a fill after fill process to reach your goal where you are comfortable.

When this happens, you will still be able to eat Healthy food ! BUT,,,,, There is something inside you

that actually causes your cravings to eat, and I am not talking just Head Hunger.For me, when I am in my comfort zone, it doesn't really act up.

So you don't think about food that much at all, or feel the Hunger.

For me,,, that was a major concern. To have that practically deadened, makes it all possible.

Glad you made a decision, and hope this helps.

For me it has absolutely been the right choice. I've only had my band for 3 months, but I am very, very happy!

Be sure to research everything thoroughly. If you have the drive and dedication, it will work great for you!

Good Luck at your meeting!
