Good luck! I am 37 also, and know once you hit 40, it only gets tougher to lose weight.

I think the surgery will be the kick in the butt I need, but nervous about the lifestyle change.

This is my first time on the forum....

I got a lapband 14 yrs ago, never really saw any change. Then about 4 years ago, I lost 100lbs, through diet and exercise. Honestly, never thought I would go back to being heavy again.

But... I changed to a new job I hate and have gained back 60lbs.

My surgery is scheduled for 11/29; my husband thinks I can lose the weight on my own. I feel like I have no will power and just go back to my horrible diet favorites.

Is it really worth all the bad parts (dumping/hair loss/never having chocolate again) of having the gastric bypass??????

This could be the pre-op diet talking (it's hard), but I need some real perspective!
