Hello everyone.I want to introduce myself.I am a 32 year old woman that has type 2 diabetes and currently weigh 328.This is largest that I have every weighed.My height is 5 ft 2.I have always been an over weight person.Starting from the age of 11.I have been up and down on roller coaster diets.I always loose the weight and gain it back except it is always more than what I weighed before.Everyday is a struggle for me.It is embarrasing to say this but even going to the bathroom is a stuggle because I have to get up off of the toliet.Now anytime It is getting hard for me to get up off of the toilet than I know that it is time to try to loose weight.LOL!:pout: .The last time that I dieted I was taking on phetermines.My doctor had me on it for a year.I lost over 100lbs.The only drawback from it was that I had a lot of loose flab but I could walk,run,and enjoy life.Now I feel like that I am nothing.I want to try out the lapband but I am not getting any support from anyone.My doctor does not advise it my mother does not support it and she said that I could die.I told her that if I do not loose this weight than I would die anyway.I feel like that I have nowhere to turn too.I cannot even enjoy any company with my boyfriend.:think I am just so sad until I do not know what to do.I need some cheering up.Has anyone had this procedure done after you have tried any and everything else? Did any of you had support? I just basically need help and I feel like that each step that I take will be my last breath because it is so difficult.:help: Since I cannot get any support at home than maybe I can get some support from here. Thank you for reading my story.

My PCP is basically being a jerk and saying that I need a diet and exercise.The lapband will never work because she has even known of superstars that has had this done nevertheless she did not name any names.She mentioned Nutrisystem,Jenny Craig,and Weight watchers.I cannot afford Nutrisystem and Jenny craig when their are others in the house that has to eat too.She just talked like a complete :censored:

Thank you for your words it has helped me a lot.

Thank you so much for those encouraging words.

My new PCP is a total:censored: .All that she said was that the weight will come right back on youif you have this procedure done.Nothing works but diet and exercise.How in the :censored: can I exercise when I have to use a cane to walk with! I am barely able to put one foot before the other.Than she says.Try nutrisystem or Jenny Craig.I cannot affford to by those meals when other people in the house has to eat too! I am working on getting another PCP.Thanks for listening.

Yes my current weight is 328lbs and 5 ft 2.I was typing so fast until what I meant to say was that I wanted to have this procedure done instead of "try it out".My insurance company will pay for this procedure with no questions asked.You gave me some good advice.I will put my foot down and let the people that care about me know how I feel and you are right I have to make this descision.I just wish that they would quit scaring me with all of the what ifs? you know what I mean? Thank you for the advice and giving me a little kick in my but.:clap2:

Thank you for the support I really appreaciate it.!
