Channlluv. Good for you for realizing there are psychological issues that are preventing you from reaching a healthy weight. If I were you, I would strongly consider getting some type of psychological counseling before considering any form of surgery. If your health insurance won't pay for a month at a facility (which is probably very expensive), maybe they would pay for individual or group counseling, or maybe a community center nearby offers low or no cost group counseling programs. I think the hardest step is identifying that there are psychological issues. Now that is behind you, so just research what is within your means to help you work through them.

That's what I figured, too. A lot of people have shared that opinion.

I just left my mom, who had lapband surgery a couple of years ago. She still has serious food issues. I do not want to live like she has to now. Food is all she thinks about.
