Surgery?

I look at alot of peoples stories and no one says anything about weight lose surgery? Has anyone out where had a surgery to help aid in their success? I had the lapband about 14months ago and have still to hit my goal weight. Stupid 10 pounds:0) I like to look at others for motivation but it somtimes gets me down to see how well others have done and all on there own and i am still not there. At my heaviest i was 213lbs at surgery 204lbs and today 169.2 my goal is 155lbs. Yes i know i wasnt extreamly overweight but with diebeties looming i qulified.
