i have wonderd the same thing. lol i have told my fiance and my mom. thankfully my mother and i are doing this together though we are not banded yet we are working on things and very excited. but i am also in college and im thinkin what am i gunna tell these people all my friends are skinny and they would not understand at all and the ones that are heavy also dont like to talk about there weight problems so im thinking just my family and if im not comfortable telling others then i wont. my main worry is people thinking that im starving my self and upchucking. lol and also im a little worried about offending people while eating at there house. or out to eat i dont wanna make anyone feel uncomfortable. lol

Last night i tried to log in and it said that the website was doing a update but now i can't read any of the forums? anyone know why?

i have been fat sense kindergarten i was always the tallest and heviest! i only remember being able to shop at the mall 1 time in my life. and it was hard to find clothes. although i was never really mentally abused by my piers it was still hard to be the biggest girl in the cheerleading squad or the big girl with the pretty face. one time in middle school i hurd a bunch of guys behind me saying that i would be hot as hell if i was skinny. back then i was probably tipping the scale at 200 then high school came and i weighed around 260-280 had lots of friends partied alot and had a great time. then my senior year i fell in love with my now 4year fiance and all my friends dissapeard i got real depressed about loosing life long friends and not to mention comfortable with the fact of having a boyfriend i started to gain weight then i got my first job at mcdonalds the obsese capital of america! and went to school during the day and went to work at night not to mention i have always had a bad habbit of not eating all day then pigging out at dinner. well anyways i would not eat all day then get off at work at around 12am-1am and it was just much easier to get dinner at fast food then going home and actually having to cook. soo now i am at a whopping 365 and misserable as hell and i am new to lapband and still trying to figure out how to get this ball rolling. you people inspire me that i will be the thin girl i wanted to be my whole life!!! sincerly, future skinny b***h! lol

wow i cannot wait to get the band! great job to you all if it wasnt for this forum i would have never conciderd it thank you all.

hi i was just wondering if anyone has lost 200 pounds or more. please feel free to post b4 and after pics if u want. thanks <3

well im fat because of many reasons. ive been over weight sense i can remember. for one i deff think i got the fat jeans. lol my moms whole side is over weight. but i think the biggest reason is because i go ALL day without eating then i benge at dinner. i starve my body! when i was in high school i always was self concious but not that bad. lol i was deff over weight but i carried it well i was popular had lots of friends boyfriend partys ect. even at a whole 270 lbs then i got engaged and comfortable and on top of that i got a job while in school and didnt eat all day then i would eat fast food almost everynight for dinner. at around 12pm then go home and go to bed within a couple years i gained about75 lbs and i am MISERABLE!!! i cant even began to express how bad i want this surgery! im sure you all know. and then theres lazieness its easier to sit on the couch watching tv then going for a walk. =[ i just want to be me again. and healthy!!!!
