No the call was from the hospital asking me about my insurance haven't got approved yet, I live in pikeville ky, I have 1 child he's 13

tell me about yourself. I weight 268 bmi of 46 I have been like this as long as i can remember i was 302 at my highest weight, Ive joined the ymca lost 25, ww about 20 joined ww again, lost 12 gained some back, ive even had my ears stapled twice. lost 15lbs nothing seems to help for very long i go back to my old habits, i think im a emotinal eater, when my dad was sick all i did was eat bad, the doctor said i go back to comfort foods. then mom gets sick, im at the hospital with her
ate at the cafe, just bad food. can't seem to stop myself. don't know how to get on track and stay there, this might be the only solution for me. have you checked out utube lapband surgerys its people talking about their experiences i have got a lot of information from there too.

Thank each of you for your reply. I am just not feeling with the program tonite. I keep thinking of all that lovely food I will miss...or maybe I can find a way to make it non-fattening. Food's been a big part of my life for so long, I love to cook. Can't say I do as much as it's just 2 of us again. Husband never really cared a lot about food, he'll eat just about anything I put in front of him. And if I'm not around, just make sure the Peanut Butter jar is. I have fought with my weight for the past 40 years, and lost the battle. One time I lost 100 lbs. fast, and ended up in the hospital for 2 wks, before the Drs. decided some exploratory surgery was called for. I broke my ankle at 27 and have had arthritis problems started from that - I no longer could walk correctly. My knees were both replaced about 10 years ago, (I was 50, at the time. Doing them both was a major mistake in terms of recovery for me, but got thru it.) I have had diabetes for about 15 yrs. Got a insulin pump last November. At the same time, I was diagnosed with Polymyalfia. The only med to control it is Prednisone. Between the pump and prednisone, I am just sitting back, watching myself expand. My level of exercise is practically nill, though the podiatrist is making progress with my arthritic feet. I now weigh over 300 lbs. and see no end in sight. Just gotta suck it up and do it, I guess, if I want to live another relatively comfortable 20 years. I am scared of what my life will be like if I can't get it under control. As I read what I answered, can't see a reason to hesitate. I'll be more chipper tomorrow. Thanks again. -
Hello, I am due for my first official step, the seminar next Tuesday. I am really conflicted about this, but I don't see another way available to get control of my weight, and life. I have many problems that the weight complicates. I'm looking for support, and I thank you for any offered.
