I too hope to be a bander soon. I am tentatively hoping for the end of May. DH & 2 DS are not for it so I really have only told a couple of close trusted friends. Why do I feel so guilty of something? Am I really lazy? Would discipline, diet & exercise solve my "problem?" Maybe its not a problem--maybe its just life that so many in our world suffer from obesity, and so far--not many permanent answers. I personally hate being fat. Have always hated it since the beginning of my memories. the problem with discipline, diet & exercise is that it can; and usually does, revert back to old habits. And then more mental issues--depression, failure and the worse, "lazy" sink back in. I'm not really lazy at all, maybe just weak. But a lapband is just the thing I need! For hope! Oh, and at my age, 50ish, health becomes the real driving factor. Kudos

I am new also. Haven't committed to the lap band yet. Still scared--not about the surgery but the after life. Husband is definately not sold on going to Mexico.
