Another friend had the balloon in the stomach or a band (i forget what) and not only did it not work much, but she got pregg and had to get it removed. Waste of a lot of money :/ undergroundangel on "choosing surgery" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/choosing-surgery#post-530 Sun, 13 Jun 2010 10:48:26 +0000 undergroundangel 530@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ Hi - I'm Angel, I weigh 99kg and I'm only 4ft 11. I've been trying for over ten years to shift the excess weight and nothing has been permanent. Exercise and watching my calories hasn't worked, weight watchers made me put on weight and don't get me started in Jenny Craig and the cost: the only thing that slimmed down was my bank account. I desperately need breast reduction surgery - I've always been large breasted, started wearing a bra at age 9 - because of the damage that has been done to my upper back and shoulders. However I'm not eligible for the surgery because... my BMI is too high - 43.6 My GP was unsympathetic so I changed to a new one. She didn't even hear me out - simply referred me to the Middlemore bariatric surgery team. And I am now on the list for a laparoscopic gastric sleeve procedure at some point in the next six months. My mother has had a successful lap band and my sister a successful sleeve. Am I scared? Yes but I'm far more determined than I am scared. Liz said it was ok to put a link to my website where I'm talking about this: <a href="http://www.undergroundmainstream.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.undergroundmainstream.com</a> Anyone else out there thinking about the procedure or going to have it?

Researchers said their findings suggest it may be no coincidence that while sleep duration has shortened in western societies in the past decade there has also been an increase in cases of "insulin resistance" and adult-onset diabetes. "Our findings show a short night of sleep has more profound effects on metabolic regulation than previously appreciated," said Esther Donga, director of Leiden University Medical Centre in the Netherlands, who led the study published on Wednesday. Type 2 diabetes is caused by the body's inability to adequately use insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, to control glucose sugar produced from food. Sugar levels rise and can damage the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and major arteries. The disease, linked to poor diet and lack of exercise, is reaching epidemic levels. An estimated 180 million people now suffer from diabetes around the world. Previous studies have found that several nights of poor sleep can result in impaired use of insulin, but Donga said this was the first study to examine the effects of only a single bad night's sleep. The Dutch scientists examined nine healthy people - once after a night of eight hours sleep and once after a night of just four hours. The findings, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM), showed that partial sleep restriction during a single night reduced some types of insulin sensitivity by 19 to 25 percent. "Our data indicate that insulin sensitivity is not fixed in healthy (people), but depends on the duration of sleep in the preceding night," Donga wrote in the study. "In fact it is tempting to speculate that the negative effects of multiple nights of shortened sleep on glucose tolerance can be reproduced, at least in part, by just one sleepless night." A study by US scientists published last year found that people who slept less than six hours a night were 4.5 times more likely to develop abnormal blood sugar readings in six years compared with those who slept longer. Experts say adults typically need between seven and nine hours sleep a night. Donga said further studies were needed to see whether ways of improving sleep duration could help stabilise glucose levels in patients with diabetes. </blockquote> Liz Quilty on "Burgerville USA - this is totally awesome!" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/burgerville-usa-this-is-totally-awesome#post-363 Mon, 04 Jan 2010 09:56:16 +0000 Liz Quilty 363@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ Have a look at this receipt you get when you buy at Burgerville USA <img src="http://i.imgur.com/kXBQS.jpg"> They use this software <a href="http://nutricate.com/" rel="nofollow">http://nutricate.com/</a> Now why cant McDonalds and similar places use that? its totally cool! even if they are calorie laden burgers <img src="http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif" title=":D" class="bb_smilies" /> ivycat on "hey everyone!" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/hey-everyone#post-345 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 11:00:21 +0000 ivycat 345@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ YOu sound like you have really got it together! I have had a bit of a break but its great to see new people getting on here and getting motivated and supporting each other.

I've lost 11 pounds so far, and that, for ME, is unbelievable.. the fact that I'm actually sticking with something and not giving up, is just crazy. I've been watching what I eat, and limiting my portions. I eat until I'm full, basically. I've cut my calories to 1500 a day, sometimes I go over, sometimes I go a bit under. Basically, I eat when I'm hungry, and I stop when I'm full. Before I decided to make these changes, I used to eat 24/7, I'd eat full meals at 1-2am, eat all the junk food in the world, drink a TON of soda, etc. Just plain unhealthy. I'm also working out once a day, sometimes I work out twice a day, sometimes I miss a day etc etc. Thankfully I have a Rottweiler, who requires a LONG walk every single day.. so that'll get some exercise into me whether I want to work out or not. anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and share a few things with all of you. good luck to all of you, and believe in yourself!
