Topic: New here ... 31 years old...BMI of 54.29

Hi all,

my name is Carrielee and I am 31 years old.

I have battled being overweight / obesity since I was a young child and I've finally gotten the courage to taking the steps toward a healthier self.

At 31, I'm 5 feet tall and weigh 278 pounds, at a BMI of 54.29, it's time to do this.

I suffer from a myriad of weight related health conditions and fear an early death if I don't take control of my weight and health.

I suffer from acid reflux, hypertension, high cholesterol, Type II diabetes, arthritis, limited mobility, chest pain/angina, sleep apnea, liver disease...I'm slowly killing myself and I'm tired of it.

Any tips for a first consult with a WLS surgeon? My appointment is on April 25.

You have to explain her that you can't stay like this anymore, it becomes dangerous for your health. You need this surgery so you can start a new life, a healthy lifestyle. If she still doesn't want to go for a surgery, I would recommend you to use injectable hcg. In this way, she will start losing weight without doing any activities, but it's also important to limit the number of daily calories that she takes from food, so the result will be faster. She needs to start eating healthy.
