Would love to here your stories good an bad. So excited to start the process for my weight loss journey. Did all my research an know all I need to know. But very interested on other peoples stories. Wish me luck everyone. My weight currently is 263.5 my BMI is 43.85 :,( I'm only 21 but I've been over weight my whole life it runs in my family sadly. I've done everything an anything I can think of to lose weight because I didn't wanna be put under but after all my fail attempts for the past 8yrs I think the lap band is my only hope for dropping the weight getting healthy an happy. I am not only doing this for myself I am doing this for my son. I'm taking every step I can to make this happen. I won't give up..I am not trying to be skinny being thick is okay with my but I'm more then thick I'm morbidly obese my goal if I am able to get this surgery is 100lbs in a yrs an of course ill keep up with working out an the diet.
