My name is melynie and I'm new to this group. I'm 32 years old married with two daughters. My oldest is 13 and youngest is 2. I been struggling with my weight all my life. I've tried different diets and some worked while on diet pills but as soon as I stopped taking diet pills the weight came back with a little extra added. My highest weight have been 330 and that was being pregnant with my youngest daughter. I dropped 30 pounds some months after delivering. I had tons of fluid. I thought i wanted to have lap band but i dont think i can handle all of the vomiting, stuck food and slipped band everyone talks about. So im weighing my options right now. I'm still in my manditory 6 month weight management class. I graduate from class on feb 14th 2013. I've had my psych eval and my dietician appt. my insurance requires 2 dietician appts. So my last one is scheduled jan 23rd. I have a lot of support from all my fam and friends with which ever surgery I pick. Oh and I'm from Baltimore Maryland.

I had to do 1 week of a liquid diet. Only protein shakes, sugar free jello, and broth...barf

Oh, and i stayed in the hospital for 2 days.
