Go baby go...you got through your addiction hump!!! Woo Hoo wonderwoman look out. I am sooooooooooohappy for you! I think you should go buy yourself a bracelet or something you can look at and fuss with if your fingers get twitchy again.... "someone saved my life tonite...." Whoa! It's you!!! go grrrl!

that sounds a lot like my history...Never got better either...I wish I had had the surgical option earlier...I would have had a better life...I've wasted so much time with the struggle..( My baby, who is now 27 was 1lb 10 oz...can we say c- section...after that I could never get right..or concieve again...and the depression came on strong...) Go for it is my vote...love...let the lap band help you claim your life and right to health...

Im always freezing and have learned the joy of wool socks.

be alive when my grandchildren are born and go swimming without a big t shirt over it all

Got a psycholigist on board? time to go, its too soon for self sabotage!

It's always bad to try to intrepret your own tests. The ones your surgeon had performed were probably more accurate that those your primary care doc ordered. Normal for obese people is not the same for the average population...If it was there would be less reason for the surgery...Have faith, with this help you will have much better numbers this time next year.

Hi..You are pretty young and with 2 babies maybe you deserve a bit more weight for a while. The decision is yours and yours alone...Make it for yourself. You won't be eating like everybody else anymore after it...Maybe you can loose the weight and make the changes without it. Just don't be like me and struggle year after year if your non band efforts don't stick...Were you always obese or just since the babies? If not your chances of success without the band are a bit better... I am 50 and was just about your size at your age...now I am at 250 ...wish Id had this option earlier...I hope to get surgery within a few month and feel really happy about it...Take care, love yourself and enjoy those babies...!

I think bcbs is being really nice about the lap band...Mine came in 3 days!

pat on the back to you...reward yourself...here are suggestions! Anything but food, take a long drive to somewhere beautiful and think.... sleep in, take a real long bath, buy some new music, get a pet, do some gardening, fly a kite or model airplane, paint, draw, go to a shooting range and plunk away, get a massage, clean your office, go rock hunting. carve a piece of driftwood, spend all day in a bookstore, go buy a jaunty hat......whatever floats your boat...just get off the couch and away from food thoughts....non food rewards yuhah go for it handsome!!!!

Go angelvoice!!!!! you can do it! I swear its a food detox... time will heal! Your body is a good contraption and will ajust...you will feel better ...love!!!!

I suspect that if you hang in there and keep trying somebody along the line will see that you have the capacity to stick to it. That is probably what they are looking for. I do suggest you stick with the same psychiatrist because shopping around is not something they will want to see. Good luck and patience...

Call the best hospital in the area and sign up for their information session. It was fantastic in my case and they shared all the options and statistics. The most important thing is I felt incredible relief and encouragement! My surgeons appointment is April 14th and god willing a year from now I will be significantly healthier and this time it will not come back! Can you imagine! The other thing the info session brought home is that I DESERVE THIS HELP. Try that one on for sizs...and go for it!!!!!!!!!love
