  1. Hi to all of you. I am a newbie to the site and still in the process of considering getting banded in Mexico. I have several concerns both on the procedure and the mental aspects of all of this. While I am considered obese I do not have the amount of weight to lose that some of you do however I am sick and tired of the yo-yo effect of losing then gaining. I would love to lose 60-70 lbs and keep it off. I know nutrition and how to eat yet can not stick to a regimented diet plan. Love to workout yet I am still overweight heading to (mo). My questions are as follows. 1. Since I have knowledge and I exercise why should I think I will be able to control myself after the band. My bad habits are record speeds of eating and huge portions. I do pretty well with choices. 2. How do I break these bad habits? 3. Is Gerd/ acid reflux a lifestyle after banding? 4. Is finding a doctor for fills difficult in Cleveland Ohio? Support Groups? Any suggestion or advice would be helpful
