Pre-surgery

Jan 27, 2009

Well I have been over weight since middle school. I have done every diet in the book, have hashimotos (hypothyroid) disease, pre-diabetic and have not been successful at weightloss in years. 3 years ago I joined LA Weightloss and lost 30 lbs and went on a 3 month plateau. I guess you could say I was tired of starving with no results so I slowly went back to eating more. When I went to the couselor for help, she told me it was probably because I had a steak that week (6 oz) at a restaurant and I needed to fax the menu to them and they would choose what I would order.....NOT!

What brought me to the WLS decision is my endocrinologist told me that if I didn't loose at least 30 lbs, I would be a diabetic. She suggested that I do the South Beach Diet. I did - at my next visit 4 months later, my cholesterol was normal but I had only lost 3 lbs. My grandmother is going blind from diabetes so I decided it was time to take action. I went to several seminars and decided the lap band was my next venture in the weight loss battle.
