I feel strange writing this. I don't usually discuss my weight with anyone,

much less post my feelings on the internet, but here goes. I have been fat

everyday of my 42 years. I was even a fat baby. I too have tried all the

diets, groups, even pills a couple of times. I loose weight, sometimes

substantial amounts. I lost over 55 pounds once when I fell in love and quit

eating. But here I am over 250 pounds and physically wasted.

I have a friend who had mgb last summer and she looks and feels great. I

started checking into for myself even before then. I have visited Dr. R's

website and have been reading the patient's manual. I also have begun

completing my info. But I'm stuck. I have been on so many " weight loss

programs " , I don't have a clue when I did what and how much weight I lost. I

only know that I gained it all back and then some. How precise and accurate

does one need to be when filling in the form? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

All I know is that I too, have been on so many diets and used so many meds

trying to loose weight that I would have to have kept a journal to know exact

dates... I guessed.... the best I could. Even though I didn't remember the

precise date, I could remember what happened wrong with that particular diet or

med. It worked in my situation, I hope it works in yours.

Don't worry. It is impossible to remember all the diets we have been

on. I am 30 years old and 285 lbs. I have been on almost every diet

possible. This is the best decision I have made for myself. The goal

is getting healthy and staying healthy. I told my " skinny " sister, what

does it matter how the weight comes off as long as I get healthy.

Realistically it wasn't ever going to happen without the surgery. On my

packet I just basically guessed and I have been approved without any

problem.

Good luck,

from Mich.
