Q. I have at least a 100 pounds to loose I have tried to do it by just exercising and eating right but it gets me no where at the most i might loose 20lbs out of the 100 i need to loose, and even if i loose that eventually i wind up gaining it all back. Only meals I really eat are for dinner because I usually dont have time for breakfast or lunch. I use to not be a big fan of the weightloss surgery but at this point ill do whatever.
A. First, a work of nutritional advice. According to my nutritionist, and from my own experience, not eating breakfast or lunch is actually a bad thing, You are putting your body into �starvation mode�. Your body ends up preferring to put it�s calories into storage, i.e. fat, and increases your appetite when you do eat. So in the end you eat a larger dinner and put more of it away into fat. Eat something at every meal, even if it�s something small and fast. I keep yogurt around just for those days that I don�t have time to eat breakfast or lunch.
Anyway, with what Information you have given, so far I would say you do qualify. You sound a lot like me, before my surgery. However, these are the qualifications requirement for my (and most) doctor, so look it over and see if you do qualify.
1. Your BMI is more than 40 or more than 35 with obesity related health conditions
2. You weigh twice your ideal weight or are at least 100 pounds overweight
3. You are between the ages of 18 and 60
4. You have been overweight for 5 years or more
5. You have been unable to lose weight thru diet and exercise
6. You do not have an illness that has caused you to be overweight
7. You do not drink too much alcohol
8. You are committed to making changes in your diet and lifestyle
9. You are willing to continue working with and be monitored by your LAP-BAND doctor
As to if you should have the band, only you can decide if you want to make the life style and medical changes you have to in order to get the band. Everyone who is thinking of weight loss surgery had to decided if taking the risks and making the life changes is better then the alternative, being morbidly obese. For me it was easy, I was dying from being obese, so it was surgery or death. Only you can make the choice for you.
On last thing I can say, I had a band put in a year and a half ago and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I even had to self paid ($17,000), (I emptied my 401K) so I want my monies worth.

If I lose alot of weight will my penis get bigger?
Q. Right now I'm 430 pounds about to get weight loss surgery in a couple of months. The first thing I wanna do when I'm done is try to get laid. Obviously I'm gonna go for the bar sIuts. However right now when my penis is erect it's about 5 inches. And I'm wondering if I lose a ton of weight in a short period of time will it get bigger?
A. It will not get bigger, but the weight losss will expose more of it, giving the illusion of growth
Is three months enough to dramatically change my body and see a difference?
Q. If i stick to a very strict diet and do cardio and weight training will i be able to see a huge physical difference on my body? Im trying to lose around 40 pounds. I just want to overall be able to see a big difference.
A. yes but you must also eat right to see results.The thing is, even if you do hours and hours of exercise, you won't lose weight if you don't eat properly. You gotta cut all the junk--cookies, cakes, chips, white bread, candy, etc--and stick to WHOLE foods like brown rice, whole wheat bread, bran cereal, oatmeal, soup, etc.
Eat properly and do cardio and weights and you'll get huge results. But weight losss also takes time and patience. Weight loss will take months to see results. But the thing if you need to be healthy. YOu don't want to just lose pounds quick and gain it all back again. This is the best way--even tho it might be slow--it is the best way to lose weight and keep it off for good. It will also make you feel and look better.
