Hey Everyone, I am very new to this forum. I have been overweight for 21 years...since I was 6 years old. Not a little but obese. I never felt left out of anything or sad from it. I am who I am....until now. I very much can feel how overweight I am now, I want to have babies and actually live to see them grow. My sister who wasnt always overweight, but from a medication gained weight fast couldnt handle it and drastically went out and got the gastric bypass. She has many medical problems that we fill are a result from her surgery. So everyone says for me to get Lapband...I always said no I want to do it by myself. Well I realized this week, I cant do it by myself. I have done everything a person could do to lose weight. I need help. I am just starting to research everything but would like any advice and information people could provide to me. Thanks!
