I have been overweight for as long as I can remember.  In 2001, I lost 40 pounds using Weight Watchers and exercising.  Since then I have regained almost 60 pounds.  Currently, I am at my highest weight.  I am strongly considering Lap Band.  I am too afriad and I think that GB is just not for me.  In addition to needing to lose weight.  I am trying to get pregnant.  We are having difficulty with that, and my doctor told me today that I needed to lose at least 30 pounds, before I start aggressively taking fertility drugs.  I agree I need to lose a substantial amount of weight.  

Like most everyone else, I have tried everything, WW, Jenny Craig, Medifast, LA Weightloss, NutriSystem, Dr. Gupta, Dr. Beale, appetite surpressants.  Right now my life is a revolving circle.  I am stressed about my weight, so I eat.  Then I am depressed because I ate, so I eat some more.  I find myself eating and really not being hungry.  I beleive that I am an emotional eater.

I don't beleive that exercise and limiting food alone without surgery will be successful for me.  So I know I need the surgery.  I am just concerned about the surgeon.  If anyone out there absolutely love their surgeon, please let me know.  I have all of my current doctors because of referral.  So far, so good.
