oh i forgot i am 5 ft tall with BMI 42.6

HI my name is Kara I am a 34 yr old mother of 2. I currently weigh 225 lbs and have weighed 175 or better since I was 12 yrs old. I have been trying most of the year to make a healthier change in my life for my kids. I quit smoking in May after 17 yrs and I really want to get this weight off. I am trying to figure out if this is what I want to do. I am a little worried about loosing it too fast and having skin hanging off everywhere. I am afraid I will go through depression boughts like I do about my weight. When I say depression I mean, I don't want anything to do with anyone, I am down on myself, I am unhappy, and quiet and I just want to sit around all day. Luckily I have 2 boys so I can't really just sit around. Well I can some. I guess I am afraid it will get worse or that I will needt to go on medication for it. I don't like pills. Other than that I am not really worried right now. I do need someone to help me with finding the right info and answers. I want to be smart going into the possibility of doing this. I am meeting with my Primary care Physician Fri and will be bringing it up with him then. I don't really know what I need to know at this point, I just know I could use some help. By the way I am in Watkinsville, GA:biggrin:

that would be great. What have you had to do so far and what is the seminar about?

Thank you for your response. I don't really know what questions to ask. I have a long time to make up my mind but I meet with my family dr fri and I am going to talk with him about it. Please let me know how ur surgery goes when you get home. I would like to learn from you through ur procedure if you don't mind.

Hi all, My name is Kara ad I am trying to find out as much as I can before really considering the procedure. I am 34 and have been obese for 22yrs. I have tried many different diets but I don't know if I am ready for surgery just yet. I have about a year to decide according to the insurance company. I have to jump through there hoops for Pre- Determination before even being considered. I guess that is how most ins companies work. My husband wants the surgery now. I on the other hand am scared. Scared of the procedure, loosing weight too quick, Having to have cosmetic surgery later on, and of possible side effects and pain after surgery. If anyone has any information that might be beneficial to me I would be very accepting of this info.:w00t::embaressed_smile:
