I can remember I was 38 yrs old, my brother was diagnosed with HIV, and I went on anti depressents, that was 22 years ago, It was like emotionally I shut down, and started to eat, I have gained every year since. The following year I lost my mother and the year after that I divorced. I changed jobs from construction to factory and now a job I travel 35,000 thousand miles a year, all these changes have reaked havoc on my eating habits, cooking? where is the stove? I have eaten take out, fast food or room service for years, I have tried, Atkins, Weight Watchers and low carb diets, each I start off with great intentions, but then I emotionally shut off somewhere down the road, I "wake up" months later not only bigger but more disappointed in myself. I am seriousely considering the lap band surgery, please tell me this will help me?

Thank you L, Looks like I will consult with both, How long did it take you from when you decided to surgery? Also who was your doctor? I would also like to thank you for being so open and helpful, this is quite a decision, and your input is certainly helping.

HI everyone, I am wondering if I should go to the states- (closer) or make the trip to Toronto, that would be 4 hours away. I am most worried about any complications or follow ups? Has anyone done this long disance? Thanks for any and all help.
