so lets start with me... 26, 5'9 and at 285 :crying: with a bmi of 42. i started gaining weight only about 3 yrs ago after i had my beautiful baby girl. I have tried diets i just cant seem to keep the weight off, im hungry all the damn time i cant seem to get a break,.... the weight justs keep piling on. Obesity runs in my family..moms side not to mention that she also has a gentic muscle desease called central core desease thats in the legs, which i have it, and my poor daughtor has it also. I walked normal and everything you wouldnt know it until i started to walk upstrairs our get off of the floor our attempt to run stuff like that. So with the weight problem my muscle problem gets worse. So i wanted to try to talk to my dr about this surgery, but im scared because i havent been overweight for all my life. But then again i cant get rid of the weight because i cant really work out like normal people. I just really hope the ins will get approved, i go to talk to my dr on the 1st.
