Please consider this decision very carefully. There is more and more evidence that lap-band & gastric bypass are not sure-fire cures. I worked with someone who had bypass, lost 200 pounds, decided she wanted to eat like everyone else, regained 100 pounds & has had to have repeated surgery.. A woman I took care of in the nursing home had the surgery about 20 years ago, tried to push the limits, & started to vomit everything she ate.. She died after about 4 months of that. If you are strong enough to maintain that restricted way of eating it should be ok, but you don't know for sure until its too late..I just want you to search your soul before you commit to something so very drastic..

lapband, but if you chicken out then you'll just have to give it one more try.

go ahead and lapband it! You have suffered enough. Make sure you get into a support group afterward, too, so you will have a good base to keep it off.
I had bypass and have done very good with it for 10yrs, but I knew it was not a miracle and only a tool to lose the weight.
