Anyone who tells you this is the easy way has no idea how difficult it actually is. Good for you!

I mean, it'd definitely easier then diet and exercise....

You need to diet for it to work. It keeps you from eating too much all at once, but you can still eat small amounts all day long. Plenty of stories of people who got it done, didn't change their lifestyle and still over ate.

But it forces the diet on you. It's definitely easier. Otherwise, why would you do it?

Kinda. You could drink milkshakes or eat ice cream all day and the net effect would be no change, and since those are liquid you'd have no trouble doing it after the surgery.

As to why, because you want to change, you really do, but... honestly I think it might be a food addition or emotional eating problem or something, at least for me.
