Iam getting cold feet about my surgery. I had to go through 6 months of dieting for the insurance to approve my surgery. I have loss 33 lbs on my own.. as any diet I am getting tired of the restrictions and over the holidays have gained 4lbs back. So it makes me want the surgery but at my age 55 and 198lbs with a BMI of 30. Will I be happy or sorry I had the band. I have been reading different Bloggers and I don't hear satisfying comments.. who loves the band? Is it safe?
