Am off for a first consultation tomorrow in London with Elyzea and am in a turmoil about whether or not a band is for me. Am 16 stone 9 and have battled all my life with never ending diets. I have been great at sticking to plans for up to 10 months, losing lots of weight but inevitably I return to my old behaviours and it all goes back on.

I am finding myself becoming more extreme in my attempts to become healthy :thumbup: and wonder whether this idea is realistic, or just another mad attempt.

Am I capable of changing my behaviour in the long term? Will this help to change my mindset or will I revert yet again? Has anyone out there made a successful long term change?

I was the same, always dieting always trying something different until I reached 24 stones, I started dieting at 13 stones, so that did me no good at all. It is a most personal decision but you know, it was so right for me and I am about to reach my 1 yr anniversary. It's the band and exercise combined that work for me, without the band I wouldn't exercise at all. Good luck wth your decison making x
