I have a very stressful job and unfortunately have become a real stress eater. The most unfortunate thing is that I give in to my cravings (mostly chocolate). I really want to lose weight and keep it off. Has anyone had lab-band surgery with similar problems? And has the lap band helped? :ranger:

This is kind of a hard question.

I guess I was a stress eater too . I was stressed because I weighed so much. I stressed/ate myself up to 276 lbs. Sort of.

Just be careful with the chocolate, it goes down much too easy. Make sure you eat your protein throughout the day. Solid protein is the most important. Stay away from carbs and sugar. You will do fine.
