I know that your passion also is to inform so you also had to give your opinion on this choice.

Oh yikes, I wasn't advocating lap band surgery.
Oh no, I definitely don't believe that is a good solution for weight control. A lap band isn't the key to developing good eating habits. However, having said that, there are many people who've tried endlessly to lose weight. And I think Rosie is one of them. In cases like that, perhaps losing weight by lap band is better than remaining heavy. I wish Rosie well in her efforts to regain her good health.
As we all know very well, it is much healthier to exercise, eat veggies and fruit, practice lots of will power, and eat small portions. However losing weight seems to be the hardest thing in the whole world for most of us mortals. Or else we'd all be tiny people. Some people find it easier than others to lose weight. Is it metabolism, will power, motivation, intelligence, a combination of all of these?
If a pharmacy company ever discovers a safe and effective pill for weight loss, the company will make a zillion dollars, it will be on the front page of Time Magazine, and we'll all be a Size 2.
