lap band

Danidelion

Anyone have any experience with it? I have tried to lose weight on my own for years...but I always fail. So i'm really leaning toward trying this as a last resort, that maybe if I have to eat smaller and better portions, I will finally succeed. But first I'd like to hear from some people that have possibly tried it or know someone that tried it.

Any help would be great =]

I've struggled with my weight for years. I know a lot of people that have had lap band or gastric bypass. It does help you lose weight. The only problem is it doesn't really fix the reason why you gained the weight and held onto it. I really think our (people that carry excess weight) problems are all in our heads. Maybe ask yourself why you fail. There has to be something that makes us hold onto the weight. Is it emotional eating? Lack of self confidence? Because many people regain weight after the band is off. I've even known people that have stretched their stomachs after bypass and gained back a lot of weight. It's a personal decision, so that's just my opinion. I say don't let your past dictate your future!
