I have just received paperwork to fill out for the seminar I am attending on Aug. 30th. It asks me questions like how long I have been over weight, What programs I have tried, The reason I am asking for the lap band. I am afraid that my reason isn't reason enough. I totally hate the way I feel, look. I have never been this big and I have been this size for about 1.5 years now. It seems like just diet and exercise doesn't work anymore. I can't move the way I used to. I can remember being in 2nd grade and going to the doctor to have my thyroid tested. I have always had issues with weight. Can anyone help me with these questions?:think

Just wondering if anyone has ever tried Myoplex. I used to drink it when I was lifting weight. I would split one because of the protein content. I could digest that much in one sitting. They are really good. I would mix it with water or you could do skim milk. Do I don't use it because I don't work out anymore. Looking to get banded soon. BMI is 43. The drink mix was about 10 years ago. Good luck

My BMI is 42 or 43. The physical problems I have are things like my feet hurting especially my heals. My liver is enlarged, very fatty, high blood pressure, can't sleep because of the mound of fat on my stomach, depression. I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror. I make jokes about it to my friends and they laugh. I rather poke fun then others. Not that they ever would. I guess just as long as I have my sense of humor about it. I used to love going out dancing in clubs. Now forget it. I no longer fit into my "clubbing clothes" if you know what I mean. I would surprise people when they would play latin music and I would be out there dancing. I knew all the moves. I would feel so sexy. Now, I barely want to be intimate with my boyfriend. Has everyone had that problem?

Hey Chloe, Thank you so much for the info. I also put down the times that I did lose weight but gained more of it back. Through diet and exercise and pills. But I also said that I am unable to be that physical now because of my weight. I put down that I have foot pain now . I can't walk far anymore. They also ask if I ever had an eating disorder. I used to make myself throwup years ago and a few times over the past year...should I put that in there? I don't want to put anything down that might hinder me from getting this surgery. I am very depressed about how I look. I am at my highest. I can remember getting looks from guys as they would go by. Exchanging smiles and flirts... A few years back I went down to Camp LeJune to welcome my cousin home from Iraq. Hell, I smiled at some guy that had just come home also and was staying at the hotel with his family. He ended up asking me out on a date. I was there for all of 7 days. Now...nothing. It really sucks. I will go over more of the questions...maybe you can help me. Thanks Chloe. Christine
