  1. I appreciate the honesty. But realistically there are many things that I already don't eat. I am vegetarian. And fairly strict.. I don't know what accounts for my body changed that won't allow me to metabolize and lose weight. So many things that are in the average diet I don't eat But you would never know that looking at me.

  3. I appreciate the honesty. I'm consistently overweight, however. Doesn't matter what I try to do to cut back or exercise more. I'm always between 20-40 pounds more than where I should be. Just so happens I'm in the middle presently. I would have to be about 19 pounds heavier for my insurance to cover it.
  4. Currently I'm at 31 BMI. My insurance will cover me at 35. Has anyone used weights and stuffing? And should I worry about the final weight in when I go for surgery?
  5. No, I never did. When I talked to my doctor about it, she tried diet drugs. When that did nothing, we tried the B12 shot.
  6. I have been researching the procedure because all my life I have been at least 40 pounds overweight. As an adult, that 40 pounds morph into 60+'pounds. I've done everything. I'm a lifetime member of weight watchers. I'm a pretty strict vegetarian. But I just can't pull it together. My exercise level is not exactly what it should be, but I do move quite a bit. I try to be conscientious about getting at least 10000 steps in a day even if im not consciously exercising. I'm tired of struggling to lose the same 50 pounds. Last year I was on the Sadkhin Complex. That was a disaster. I've gained everything that I lost plus an extra 2 pounds. I feel funny coming here. I never thought that I would be considering this, but I'm to the point where I'm exhausted from the yo-yoing. Thanks for bearing with this post.
