I am hoping that readers might be able to relate to my post. I have been thinking about pursuing the lap band for some time now. I have recently scheduled my seminar date to find out more about the lap band from the doctor.
I am five foot four, 223 pounds, with a bmi of 38. I have sleep apnea and have been seeing a reproductive endocrinologist for several years due to difficulties with getting my period. There has always been suspicion that I have troubles with sugars.
I am a pretty good candidate for the lap band and I think my health insurance would most likely approve it.
The problem is that I keep getting down on myself for wanting to pursue this. Asking myself why I can't control my binge eating and why I can't just get on the treadmill every day and get the weight off myself. I feel like I haven't really tried to diet. I have tried to diet and it usually lasts just a few days and then I go back to overeating. I am an emotional eater.
I'm just looking to vent about how I feel and wondering if anyone has any ideas or has felt this way?
PS. I have always been overweight since childhood.
