Answer 1

Homeopathic Treatment for Excessive Fat and Weight :-
PHYTOLACCA BERRY's Mother Tincture is perhaps the safest and sure fire way of loosing excessive fat around abdomen. With Phytolacca Berry once you loose the excessive fat and weight you don't get it back because you body takes care of itself after that and keeps you from gathering up excessive fat. It is prescribed after having a baby too, to get the tummy to loose its flab and to make it flatter and tighter. And after loosing weight with this you don't get flabby it tightens up the flab and skin along with helping your body to shed the excessive accumulation of fat around the girth
The dosage is 15 to 20 drops of the tincture in half a cup of hot water thrice a day half hour before or after meals.
Avoid Chocolates, Coffee, Mints, Red Meat and Carbonated and Alcoholic drinks while taking Homeopathic Medicines. You have to take it for at least 30 to 45 days after that you start to feel the results.
To the best of my knowledge its the safest and the most sure fire way of loosing fat and weight and keeping it of for keeps. Excellent remedy for Obese people who cant seem to shed weight despite trying.
Homeopathic Remedies can be found at all Major Herbal Stores or could be bought on line, In most of the world Homeopathic remedies are quite cheap and easy to find and they do not need a prescription.
Take care and God Bless !

Answer 2

I had my gastric bypass (lapband) surgery in Aug 2003. I had the surgery because I broke my hip and pelvis in a car accident in 2001 and gained 100 pounds... My doctor said that I should look into getting the gastric bypass surgery.. I didn't get involved with insurance companies so I can't tell you anything about that.. What I can tell you is that with every surgery and procedure you go through there is a certain amount of risk.. On the other hand if you don't have the surgery you can die of heart disease, diabetes or some other disease cause by obesity.. With gastric bypass there are alot of complications and risks. You have to decide whether or not you are willing to deal with these.. When I had my surgery I can remember waking up in the ICU with tubes in my nose and throat.. Supposedly they were just observing me.. I can remember when I got out of the hospital I was only allowed to drink gatorade for like 3 weeks.. I went through a phase where I would feel hungry but I couldn't eat.. I started to shake.. I found myself to be really irritable.. I was losing alot of wt though.. From liquids I was put on a soft food diet and then to a normal diet.. I have found that I can eat almost everything yet there are things that make me sick no matter if i like them or not.. Also, I am almost never hungry.. I have to force myself to eat.. I don't really crave anything and I don't enjoy food.. This is a complete lifestyle change.. Think about it.. If you have the surgery you will be forced to change the way you eat.. You should no longer eat foods high in fat, foods cooked in grease, foods that are high in sugar.. drinks that are carbonated... I don't regret having my surgery.. I'm so glad that I had it.. I can now buy clothes to my liking, not just buy what fits.. People treat me better.. Overall, I am happier with myself now than I was before.. If I had to do it again I would... Hope this helps you.. Goodluck.

I haven't had the surgery myself.
I have two friends who've had it, and one of their mothers had it. The mother/ daughter did fine, recooperated quickly and looked healthy. They changed their eating habits, and started being more active. They really wanted and were commited to changing their lifestyle.
My other friend had the surgery, & became very very ill. The bypass doctors poo-pooed her complaints. She was very ill.
She started feeling better under her own doctor's care. She didn't change her eating habits, and remained sick for a very long time. She didn't change her activity level. She didn't follow through with most of what she had committed to prior to surgery.
She did lose weight, but I think mostly from being sick (in various ways). She doesn't always look healthy (skin tone, hair, etc)
It is very risky. You have to make major changes in life long habits, which may be very difficult for you and your family.
You must really want a different lifestyle, not just to lose weight.
And you have to know that there are risks, including death. It is not an easy way to lose. It take lots of work and change and you can't just stop one day.
Your weight doesn't seem that heavy. Have you tried weight watchers? Supportive and it works IF you follow the program.
I would think the risks are minimal. It might be a good first step if you haven't tried it.
I apologize if I said more than you wanted to hear.

My sister was close to 300 lb and had the bypass a few months ago. I'm not sure how much she has lost, a lot, but more important, she is now no longer diabetic, and is also off of her blood pressure medicine. It probably saved her life.
