Okay so I have been trying to lose weight on my own for around 10 years now. I've done every diet and I guess it's not the diets that are the problem. I guess its my willpower. I don't have enough to stick to one. I was diagnosed with Fatty Liver Disease and I desperately need to lose this weight, but every time I start a diet I'm ravenously hungry by nighttime and go off it. I'm not looking to take the easy way out and I don't think this decision was easy for ANY of you. I don't know what else to do anymore. I've been trying and failing for so long. I want to get a lap band, and I have insurance but I'm kind of discouraged as they want me to attend psychotherapy, nutritional counseling, and try medications before. I have to have a lengthy documented history that I've failed I guess. Well I have the lengthy history just not documentation. I'm also 5'4" and 219 so I don't know if I'm too "small" (bmi 36.5) for the procedure. But a great deal of my fat is in my abdomen, and I would think Non alcoholic fatty liver disease caused by my obesity would be my co-morbidity.
I really dont want to waste 10 more years of my life being unhappy while I'm slowly killing myself.
