i was over weight as a child, gained and lost weight through out adult life, ran marathons, weight was 167 lbs. 1995, went up to 206 lbs. by 2002 and now at a jaw dropping 277 lbs. and a 43.3 bmi. was on weight watchers, atkins, hcg,. I loss weight on all of them but low carb worked the best for me, but now nothing seems to work for me for the last 5 years. I still jog most every day, always on a low carb diet, my doctor said all my blood work is normal. I'm now in the process of getting pre- testing for the lap band, boy there's alot of hoops you have to jump through,but i think it will work for me because it seems like I'm always hungry i never get sensation of being full, & like my doctor said " hunger usually wins out in the end". right now I'm trying to learn as much as I can about the lap band , & other people's experience's, insurance, etc. my doc. wants me to loss 12 lbs. by march 1, I could loose 25 lbs. by then but i can't keep it of for long, & I don't know if loosing 25 pounds will hurt my insurance coverage. thanks to everyone billor piss off the doctor? thanks to everyone bill
