how many of ya'll have a weight problem? i'm not talking 30 or 40 lbs overweight but past that?

i have an additional woman sitting on top me/. my husband told me tonight that if i really want a lapband surgery i could get it. (my insurance co. said i wasn't covered) i don't completely meet the criteria because i'm not 40 bmi. 38.7
husband was being kind and honest but it just hurts more being this fat.
he said of course he would be more attracted to me if i weighed less. naturally he said if he weight 300lbs i wouldn't be as attracted to him. well he did weigh once 300 lbs i tole him and said that he used to crush me when we were intimate. but i never looked at him as fat. hmmm/

over our very short vaca he wanted to know if i wanted to walk down to the lake. i knew i couldn't make it down that steep a hill and back up and so i declined and told him but go ahead if you'd like to he declined.
told me today that it would be nice if i could have gone with him (he tole me no he was fine because the bugs were biting him while we were up there.) he also told me he didn't like just driving around. i wanted to go into places but he didn't. i wanted to go up to the crystal mne on a tour but he said i couldn't have handled it. i',m just a piece of crap!
here is living proof! i guess i'm going to have to start starving myhself
looked into hoodia tonight and can't make heads nor tails about who is real and who is not. also says it can make liver problems and don't know how it will interact with meds since tribesmen didnt' take them.

does anyone else here feel worthless because of they're weiught

I can relate because I could stand to lose weight as well. I have gained a lot of weight since being on all of these different meds. I don't know if they are exactly the cause or not, but like I said, I could stand to lose this weight as well. I say get a good nights sleep and worry about it all tomorrow. If you truly want to get the surgery, just make sure you are well informed about the risks and benefits of the procedue. That's the only concern I have. I want to make sure you know what you are doing. Have you already done the research on the lapband procedue? If you have, that's great because you already know what you need to know. Let us know what you decide to do.

hi lexi
its not up to me if i get the surgery or not. its up to the god almighty insurance comapny who has already told me i don't have the benefit. all i can do is try and see if the docs will fight for me.
actually i was researching and found that the sleeve is better and you don't have to have anything implanted in you. i was trying to find hoodia but who knows with the concoction of what i take if it would have horrid side effects.
shoot i just realized my hubby going to store and i ordered as he asked me for breakfast 2 cherry turnovers. great goijng FRAN!
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I HATE ME!

Those insurance companies can be very greedy. It's sad that you are at the mercy of the insuance company. You don't want to take anything when you don't know what side effects it might have. Take it easy on yourself, you are not a bad person. You should not be hating yourself.

Fran - I feel your pain. I'm 5'5", 230lbs. I've always been a little heavy (used to be a size 12/14) but since I started all of these psychiatric meds, I've gained 50-60lbs. I now have to shop in plus sized stores or plus sized departments - now I'm 2x or size 20.

I don't really let it bother me, except when I look at all the clothes I don't fit in anymore. Of course I don't have a man in my life right now, so it's easier to handle because I'm not trying to look good for him.

I honestly believe you can look good large if you dress stylishly and carry yourself with confidence. With the internet, I've found clothing that looks good without having to go to the mall (Women Within, The Avenue).

The only weight loss plan I've ever seen work was Weight Watchers, but it's a long process. I've known 2 people who have had the lap band surgery. One is doing fine (had it done last year) the other had complications after eating too much and breaking the band (or his stomach, I'm not sure which).

Whatever you decide to do, do it with dignity. Being overweight is not a character defect.

P,S. Thanks for the info on Disassociation.

I also believe Weight Watchers is one of the best diets. Growing up in my house, my Mom tried every diet out there at the time, she even went on diet pills. The only diet plan that really worked was Weight Watchers, for her and my sisters. My family has always struggle with weight.

I just read an article about a women who had the same problem you are having with the insurance company. I know this is not the best idea but she gained weight so she could get the coverage, it wasnt a lot more weight but it she got the procedure done and says she has no regrets.

Fran your husband loves you, man just dont always realized what they are saying, especially when they talk about weight with women. Dont hate yourself, your not a bad person, the outside has nothing to do with the person you are, caring, understanding, compassionate, a true friend.

Hang in there (((Fran)))

hi kate!
i'm so glad you joined coming back here. you have so much to offer people and i get to missin youl when i see your rainbow peace sign it makes me feel happy.

well even if i gained the weight they don't cover it under my plan. i was reading last night about sleeve surgery and that sounds much better. its very interesteing and you don't have to worry about having someithing in your body that is artificial that gets messed up!

if all else fails i guess i'll starve and loose weight.
i know my husband loves me but i know he's embarrassed to be seen with me.

thanks for all the kind words from everyone who responded here. it makes me feel like someone reallyh does care about me.
