  2. Thanks so much for all the advice guys!......I'm anxious to find out if my Dr.s goin to give me the referral
  3. Ooh and my bmi is 29.9.....or borderline almost 30.....
  4. Thnx guys and sorry I am 5ft 5...and weigh 180 lbs and 31 yrs old...I jus had thyroid checked and thyroid is good...cholesterol is a lil high......I love to cook so that's a problem for me and I tend to eat at night while watchin tv....I think its more emotional eating at this point...eating for comfort.....I have indeed been able to lose before....I lost 50 lbs at one point and kept it off for six..then the last two yrs I slowly gained 30 of it back...
  5. Hi I have my very first appt with my kaiser Dr. This thurs about the lap band...I'm worried he won't give me the referral to get it done since I'm not considerd extremely obese. I don't have 100 lbs to lose and the only health problem I have is bladder control issues which is a combo of having kids and weight....this is somethng I've always wanted I've tried everything in the book like I'm sure all of you've had. Spent hundreds prob thousands throughout my life on diet everything...I work out 3-4 xs a wk. I'm very active and know the right thing to eat but I have portion issues..I haven't been able to lose this weight and need help...I'm depressed at this weight and really want this...however I don't think hell approve due to not being "heavy enough"...I've even considerd gaining weight just to be approved! I know that's a crazy phsyco thing to do and I wouldnt really do that but sometimes I feel desperate...am I wrong for wanting it done with that much to lose?
