Seasons Greetings,
My name is Nancy and I have always visited this website and found assurance that I was not the only one fighting a life long battle. I found comfort in you guys as a whole. Brave, determined and focused.
I on the other hand was different. At my highest weight of 274 I was sullen. I became addidted to diet it pills (Ephedra) and went down to 217. When they became banned I went through withdrawls and every other pill on the market. I dieted, exercised but watched the avalanche of weight return. I gain all but 14lbs. This is when my menses stoppped and I am now in a deep depression. I kept a food diary and exercise three times a week. I have now started the journey to lap band surgery. I am the only parent my 2 year old has and I don't want to die. I found encouragement in these forums. I have tried some of the things along with members on different boards. Tommorow is my first appointment with Dr. Kurin. My GP this lap band surgery would help.
Thank you for just being you
