The best thing I have ever done regarding my increasing weight was to undergo Gastric Banding. I did think long and hard about my options and decided that for me, at this time, this was right. I have under taken just about every diet going, counted calories, drunk only soup, cut out carbs, reduced fat, you name it I have tried it! Sometimes I have had a good result and sometimes I have worked hard and lost nothing.
In a way losing the weight was mostly easy, whenever you start a new diet you are motivated, so you stick to the regimen, exercise and you see pounds fall of. But the problem is, for me anyway, keeping it off once the motivation wanes, once you stop the diet and try to eat "normal" foods.
Health issues were starting to be a problem for me. I wanted to lower my risks, so I decided I needed a more permanent solution. The choices were between gastric banding and gastric bypass surgery. I looked at gastric bypass surgery but felt that was too drastic, having part of my stomach cut away to make the small pouch, even though it is completely reversible.
So I decided on a gastric band. In this, a band is positioned around the outside of the stomach and once fluid is added to it, it causes a restriction, forming a small pouch at the top. You then can only eat limited amounts of food as this small pouch fills quickly and gives you a feeling of being full. You drastically cut down on the amount of food you eat causing you to lose weight easily and it makes it difficult, unless you continually overeat and stretch the pouch, to put weight back on.
