I'm a mom of two, nurse, overweight and tired of it. Overwhelmed with my present weight. Lost 30lbs last year gained about twenty of it back in the past 3 months. So over it all!!!!! I have been researching the lap band, impressed with the fact it is not too invasive. I realize its a real change of life, I am ready for it. I am researching the docs in the Tulsa,OK area, and costs. I will have to self pay since HMO will not pay. Appreciate all the advise I can get. I am very self-controled and disciplined in pretty much every area of my life but this and usually when I want something I go after it until I get it. My husband doesn't understand why I can't do the same with my weight. I don't have the answer. I am tired of the issue. Hopefully change is in my future.

I have been researching it all, also HMO, so will have to be self pay, weight has been a struggle my whole life....husband doesn't understand how I can be soo determined, disciplined and self-controlled as he puts it when I really want to be, I said to him, do you think I really want to be fat. Otherwise I don't know why my self-control, discipline goes out the window with food. I, like you an a volume eater. Hope I am heading in the right direction.

I have probably the same story as you, I have self-control overy every other aspect of my life but this and why???? is the question. Twice in my life have I been within normal weight range (late high school/early married),then lost weight after 2nd child gained ever since its been 12 years of yo-yo dieting. I do not want gastric bypas, lapband seems less invasive. From tulsa, what do you know of the docs in this area and the cost?? and was it worth it.??? help me make the decision
