How has your journey been starting out as a lower bmi?

Why does weight loss/dieting etc bring out so many crazy comments from people? I will never understand it. Everyone knows how difficult it is too manage their weight. Be happy for whatever works for someone....Jenny Craig, WW, or surgery..people ought to be more considerate for pete sakes.

I know..I do have high blood pressure and a family history of diabetes & stroke and heart issues so they were going to try that approach

Hi Everyone! I am almost 50 years old and I am considering LapBand. I went and had a consultation and they are check my insurance. My BMI is 31 so my chances are low. I have fought my weight for most of my adult life and part of my childhood. I did well from 7th grade to 12th grade. Not skinny but healthy. I did well in my late 20's but then in my 30's it has been a steady climb. I have tried all kinds of diets and I am looking for a better tool than counting points or drinking shakes for over a year etc etc. I weigh 198 pounds and I should weigh around 140lbs. What has your overall experience been with the band? Glad you did it? Would you do it again?
