Hi everyone,
My name is Chyna, and I am hoping to have the lap band surgery. I recently had a visit with my primary care physician and he sorta agreed that it would be the best option for me right now. I am 5'5 and 278lbs, I have a BMI of 46.4. Overall, major depression. I have read some of the weight loss testimonies, I have also joined in some weight loss discussion boads and now, I'm even more eager to have the surgery. My doctor is trying to get a letter of referrel considering I'm on some group plan from my State medical insurance so, I'm waiting to see how that goes. I am a full-time student (Criminal Justice & Forensic Photography) and my medical problems (due to obesity) complicates my daily activities. I've tried so many "fly by night diets" but no long term success, I understand the rhetoric of "it's a lifestyle change", but reality is "my lifestlye is rapidly changing for the worst". I would love to hear from everyone (suggestions, options and opinions).
