It is a wise decision to have the lap band removed, but it is not wise to have bypass surgery. Your problem is a lack of will power and self-discipline and no amount of surgeries, or even weight loss for that matter, will fix that. No one needs surgery to lose weight. You just have to be committed to living a healthy lifestyle and eating healthy food. Don't give up on yourself, all things can be done with Jesus helping you. Philippians 4:13

You have listened to doctors pushing a unnecessary surgery when they have a financial stake in whether you get the surgery or not. This is called a conflict of interest and the opinion of such a person should never be relied on no matter who the person happens to be, even a doctor! Find a doctor that has NO financial stake in LAP Band surgery at all and get his/her opinion. I personally think anyone that has unnecessary surgery is crazy. It is not necessary because you are overweight. Being overweight is not a situation that requires surgery to fix. To think it does is admitting you have NO will power and NO self discipline. If you truly have no will power and no self discipline you have much bigger problems than just being overweight. I hope you don't take this post as an attack, it is not one. I care or I wouldn't have posted this message. With God all things can be done, including losing weight without any surgery.
