Okay, same old story . . .
been heavy basically all of my life (since puberty age 11)
never knew a time when weight wasn't a factor or a concern
have tried all the fad diets as well as the medically supervised ones
have roller-coastered up and down the weight scale
used to smoke, quit and have not been able to lose the weight gained from that!
family history includes heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and early death rates
had back surgery more than 16 years ago and have not had a day without pain since
have osteoarthritis in my back, knees, hips, shoulders, arms and hands
am discouraged with limitations my weight has on my life and well being
I want to be healthy and live a life beyond age 60 something!!!!
I look at obesity surgery as a prodicol to treat me as a person who has suffered from and with the disease of obesity for my entire life. I want help and this appears to finally be the medical help I have sought since I was 16 years old being treated by my doctor for obesity and weight loss.
