lap band

so I had my first appointment. the doc said that the average weight loss with the band is 50% of excess fat... meaning... since I am 100 pounds overweight... I would typically lose 50 pounds.. which would put me right at 200 pounds in 2-3 years... not good enough... however, he said that this is average weight loss... for the people that rely on the band alone.. and that counts those that cheat the system (only cheating themselves) and lose no weight or gain... so ... if in 3 years, I am only down to 200 pounds.. I have nobody to blame but me... I really think that this is all I will need to help me... the band is a tool to help you feel full after very small portions... since my main problem is that I can't stand to feel hungry.. I think I'll be good.. and... the only reason I am not active is because I am just too darn tired... I still want the band.. am looking forward to it... just hope I can pay the copay and out of pocket to get it.
