I have battled my weight all of my life. I've heard all the jokes, and cruel taunts that I'm sure others have heard. When I got to the point of not weighing under 200 pounds for over 7 years, and feeling worse each year, I knew there had to be something to help me with my battle. People who have never had a weight problem have no idea what severly obese people go through. I remember the shame I had when I first saw that my PCP had checked obesity on my checkout paper in his offfice. It never occured to me that it was that big of a problem. Well, fast forward to 2009. I have a friend at work who started checking into the surgery, and she wasn't even as big as I was, so that definitely got me thinking. She gave me all of her papers to read, and I thought what the hell? If ahe can do this then so can I. I called the follwing week and made my appointment for the initial consultation. I haven't looked back since!
