I have read so much in the past week about everyone's success as well as problems. Sometimes I feel so excited about my decission then I read something that makes me doubt my decision. I know I need this,I have been large the past ten years. On more diets then I care to admit. The last year I have lost 50lbs and able to keep off 40lbs. On the other hand I still need to lose 80lbs.

Would you do it again with all the problems, discomfort, success, and the price ?

until I actually have my surgery, I think I will be doing lots of rethinking !

Oh c'mon... is everyone trying to top me now?! LOL Fine! I wish I'd been BORN with the band!

Doing something about your weight is better than doing nothing. With the band I'm not getting bigger!

Yes, Oui, Sì, Ναι, Ja, Да, Sim, はい,

I had to do it again. And it was no picinic the second time at all! But if I had to do it 3 more times I'd do it in a heart beat!

And I was terrified both times.

Even with my recent complications with my leak I would do it again in a heartbeat! 47 pounds that I will never see again!

I would do it again in a New York minute! I am just sorry it took me so damn long to get the courage up!

I too would have it again. I had very few complications- just the inital pain was more than I bargained for. However, I would not have done it earlier. I think for me, this was the right time. I needed to try other things, know that I was ready for this and be committed to it for the long haul. I just don't think I would have been as succesful 5 years ago. So... maybe balance that in your decision.

I wish you the best of luck- all the tough decisions are just that TOUGH!!
