It sucks being overweight doesn't it? I used to weigh over 300 pounds. I considered doing the lap band system and have met several people who have been very successful with it.
I lost over 120 pounds the old fashioned way with diet and exercise. You'd think that the lap band or laproscopic surgerys would be effortless weight loss, but from what I have heard from my friend who has gone done it, it is not.
The size of your stomach will be drastically smaller and the danger of this includes not being able to control yourself to eat smaller meals. If you eat too much, your body will eject it right back up. But, you also will have to eat smaller meals more often in order to get the proper nutrition that you need. You still have to change your diet and lifestyle with the surgery option.
In addition to this you also have the risk of infection or improper placement of your band. Please talk to your doctor and research this fully before proceeding. You are not that much overweight. It might be more beneficial for you and your family to join a group like weight watchers that will teach you proper eating habits and portion control.
Good luck to you!

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.
I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.
It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.
