BandReady/Skeptic

Thanks for responding. I wish you the best of luck. I totally understand how you feel. I was on Phen Phen in my late teens and most of my 20's, and I know it totally messed up my metabolism. But at the time, I didn't care. I am so tired of the yo-yo too, just want to feel consistantly comfortable, healthy and full of energy.

I still haven't decided for sure yet, but I am really leaning towards going through with it. I know it's drastic, but so are all of the complications that come with being over weight.

Let me know how your progress comes along, I have a surgery date of Dec.12, doesn't mean I will do it, but I will keep you informed.

Thanks again for answering.

Thank you for the taking the time out to respond, and for sharing your story. I am so sorry to hear about your complications. How are you now? How's it going?

I know that ultimately it's MY choice, but I hear you so loud and clear about having the will power with or without the band. Part of me thinks if I had the will power, I wouldn't need the band, and I think the band will MAKE me adhere to my possible will power. It's a struggle for me, and I am praying about it everyday.

I will keep you informed of my decision. Please let me know how you are doing, you are in my prayers.
