A good friend of mine had lap band surgery two years ago, and I have to admit, besides being terribly envious that she was going to get skinny and I was still fat (we have both been the same size since university), I secretly thought that she was talking the easy way out. She was very open over the course of the next year and told me everything along her journey. I soon realized there was nothing 'easy' about what she was going through....but here we are two years later and she's kept 100lbs off for a full year now and I weigh another 20lbs more!!! So, needless to say, my time has come...but I have a much healthier respect for the work involved now that I've watched her journey.
The one thing she said to me, that I will never forget and keep telling myself almost daily:
"Getting lap band is like breaking up with the boyfriend you've had all your life!"
