  13. Hey, you remind me so much of myself when i was 16..I weigh 270 and i felt like there was no hope...i am now 25 and I am finally doing something about my weight..i weigh 286 now which sucks..I can tell you this about getting the lap-band you cant do it do people will like you or anything like that. you have to do it for yourself. Dont listen to people who say you dont need it..that you can lose weight other ways. Just remember you are not alone.

  17. Hi, i know how your feeling. thing was it wasn't only my family telling me not to get it. it was about everyone i knew i got to where i didnt care what they were thinking about me getting it. i knew i was doing the right thing for me. you know some time when people dont understand they are quick to judge and try to change your mind, but you have to know you are doing it for yourself and no-one esle....and you have to trusted in god...he will make everything better...he will help you when you think no-one esle is there. he will make people come into your life when you need them the most...i have to wait 6 months to get my lap-band but i know that there is a good reason and everything is going to be ok ...i hope i help you at all... Jenn
