Thank you everyone for your comments. I know I need to probably get the lap band, but in the back of my head I feel somehow that makes me a failure because I couldn't do it on my own. I know that is completely irrational thinking but that is my main hurdle. I am not worried about the surgery itself, but do have concerns about band slippage etc. I meet with the surgeon in a couple of weeks to have these questions answered. Just need to get the being a failure part out of my head.

Hello, everyone, I have been considering lap band for some time, I've been to the seminar, read everything there is to read, watched videos, etc.. Still struggling on what to do. Should I give dieting one last try? How come this is such a hard decision. What was your deciding factor? I have been overweight forever. Why am I struggling with whether or not to have the surgery?
