    Thanks for the quick responses. Im the healthiest fat guy I know I say that often. I dnt drink or drug, or smoke. I exercise fairly, swim + play tennis. I dont have high blood pressure,diabetes or any other condition. I had a very bad back for the past year+ that left me pretty much motionless, as I had an awesome "excuse". Ive spent the last 6 months fixin that issue wwith the help of a chiro that practices kiniesiolgy....hes awesome actually. With his help ive become much more active. I even eat pretty healthy, the issue is I eat like a pig. Far too much, and that im not sure ill change without incentive + motivation. I find myself sayin "its my only vice left"

    Thanks all..everyone keeps saying "do the research to make sure its right for you" would someone explain to me what thus research is please id love to lose 100lbs...isnt that all I need to know??? Thanks again
  7. When you get sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, you'll make the decision that is right for you. LB is not easy and not a fix all. For me it made me accountable for me and what i was putting in my body. This is not a diet.. it's a life change. I got my band 11/09 lost apx. 77lbs. I would do it again tomorrow if i had to.... best thing i ever did for my self and my marriage. Good luck
