Hey, I'm 19 and my bmi is 33.5 I have been overweight since I was 13 This has been a constant struggle I have to watch everything I eat and its still hard on me. Out of all my friends I eat the healthiest. yet im overweight. I have joint pains And Dr suspects sleeping disorder already at age 19. When I hit 25, 30, 40 or if I even make it to 50 what will b wrong than. My family had history of diabetes, Sleep apena, heart problems, high cholesterol, high blood suger, strokes, and cardiac issues, not to mention almost all the females are obese. I have my first lap band appointment tomorrow to see if I can get approved, does anyone think ill have a problem or any advise? my family thinks because of my age I wont get approved but I think that I should due to help stop any problems I will have in the future. I'm doing this so I wont end up dying at a young age like my grandma.
