By the way, I started out one year ago at 212 pds, I now am 155, have 30 more to go and being banded you lose weight slowly but my skin does not sag at all... lap band is the way to go. Love it.

Do what you are supposed to do and you will be just fine, been banded for over a year and my only regret is not being banded sooner.. I have a new leash on life -- I feel 18 again.. lots of energy and never hungry,, remember chew chew chew all your food and you will be fine... just stop when you feel full. I soon will be 51 in November and I feel like a million dollars.

Good luck on your journey. God Bless.

Hey Diane, I have been banded almost one year now.. Sept 27 is my anniversary and I am glad and so happy I did it.. however I only lost 65 pounds, I'd hope to be at goal by now, but I am not.. I am 5'2" and my highest weight was 222 and like you I ate because I liked it and ate everything just because.. I tried Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers.. everything.. failed, I was a failure.. I hated me.. but now I do love me.. thanks for that awesome story, I loved it. I hope to be at goal by Christmas.. 30 more pounds to 130.
