In 1987, I weighed in at 167 pounds and had been at that weight for several years.  No flucuation.  I stopped smoking cigarettes and have continued to gain weight since.  I am now at 256 lbs. and found out recently that I am Pre-Diabetic. I have attempted several diets and have lost weight on most of them, but couldn't stay with any of the diets.  It seems that I gained back the original weight and added to it each time.  What I am hoping for with lapband surgery, is the confidence that I can keep the weight off.  I am currently in the early stages of the process and am probably about 6 months away from surgery.  BTW, my surgery is not actually scheduled, but my profile indicated that I was banded in 1969, so I had to put in an approximate date in order to remove the 1969!  Strange.
