When my husband and I first started researching the Lap Band, I was against any form of weight loss surgery. I, like so many others, thought it was "cheating" and a "quick-fix". It wasn't until I learned how it completely changes patients' relationships with food. I discovered 1) I am addicted to food 2) how that addiction affects EVERY aspect of my life and 3) I needed help. (I'll go more in depth on my relationship with food in another post, but I wanted to mention I here b/c it is my ultimate reason for deciding to get the band.) I finally realized why dieting was always such a struggle for me. The Lap Band offered the greatest assistance to becoming a healthier me - not to feel hungry and forced portion control. Obviously, there is more to it than that. But that was my bottom line.
