Wow... what a great thread... thank you! Everyone had such great things to say and the honesty here, WOW

I had a happy childhood.... life was normal, mom, dad, brothers. Uppermiddles class living. I sometimes try to look back and "find" a reason. My Dr. says something triggered my eating... I think "what"? I am surpressing some horrible thing, well, I have given up with the Why.. for me it is simple....

I have an addictive personality.

I am addicted to anything that will change the way I feel about myself. You are all smart and can fill in the detials. I can't have one of ANYTHING!

I am looking foward to getting banded to "help" me succeed in something that I have struggled with for to many years. IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMOE WHAT HAPPENS, IT MATTERS WHAT I DO ABOUT IT!

So that is my two cents. I leave on Tuesday for surgery in Mexico. Nernous, scared, tired, excited.... you name it I feel it.

I love you all for your honesty, openmind and willingness... that is HOW IT WORKS....
