I'm in the same position as you are.
I know I could lose the weight or at least some, I did it before, but honestly, I am tired. Tired of doing it again and gaining it all back. For some the lap band might seem like a "lazy" solution. My boyfriend is telling me that he doesn't understand why I just would not stick with a diet and a workout, and he will put a plan together for me, but he doesn't understand the frustration I feel. I've been there done that hundred times and this was it. My knees hurts, my fat rolls out of my jeans, nothing fits nice, I'm out of breath after 20 minutes of walk, and I want this to be over for good. Lately my boyfriend came around the idea qnd started to support me, so does my family, so the decision is really been made in my mind, it is only matter of months before I'll have my band.
