  1. Hi All, My name is Maxx (I'm a woman). I am 45 years old and am in the process of being approved for the lap band surgery. I am really looking forward to losing weight and reclaiming my health and vitality. I am frightened however. I am afraid that I have ruined my metabolism and will not be able to lose any weight. It seems that I eat very little now to try to maintain and not gain (though that does not work). My BMI is 44 so I am morbidly obese. I have been on Optifast 2 times and have lost a lot of weight and feel that that is the reason I will not be able to lose. I know it seems silly but I am desperate. I do not suffer from depressions but majorly am anxious and stress out about my weight all of the time. I am looking for some encouragement and feedback from this community and support as I go through this process. Smiles, Maxx
