Thank you so much, Jamilyn....I am getting more nervous by the second...not about the surgery...but about failing AGAIN....I keep reading my nutrition instructions over and over, writing notes to myself and just questioning how am I ever going to do this? I am such a wild eater...i graze constantly for a few days and then will not eat for a few...my appetite is all over the map and after years of failing on every program imaginable, I just let go for a few years, But, this is not me....I love clothes, shopping, doing activitiies with my family...all things I no longer do, and I miss it so much.I turn down invitations and have lost friends because I always say to myself " what will you wear, you look terrible in everything". I am so tired of it.I am 56 years old but might as well be 96...I feel that I cannot go on like I am, so this just has to work for me. I have contacted a nutritionist who is going to follow me after the surgery, also. I have to be accountable to someone besides myself. Also, I am computer illeterate...how do you get those slides on your page? I wish you well, and thank you for your encouragement and great sound advice

I am having lap band surgery next week. After going to the orientation and listening to both procedure discussed, I was very doubtful about banding and thought sleeve may be better for me. Thank you all for your honest thoughts here, I feel that I will stick to the banding and am making a correct choice for me
