Darlene, Its as if I was reading sometime I had written about myself. I understand the eating all the time thing and being full doesn't matter. I am glad to know I am not the only one. Have you had your Lap Band yet? I am only in the "thinking about getting one" phase. I would love to but the cost is one thing and my insurance does not pay. Nice to hear from someone like me.

Hello everyone, I am considering having Lap Band surgery. I wanted to find out from some of you who have already had the Lap Band surgery what your experiences were. I am not a spring chicken anymore (age 55) and I am very tired of being obese. Its really affecting my life. I have pretty severe arthritis and the extra weight really makes things worse. I would love to be able to get off my BP meds and Cholesterol meds. My BMI is 40. I see in other post that you have to lose some weight before the surgery. Is this the same with all M.D.s? I would love to hear from any of you.
