PAMELA-Keep researching Weight Loss Surgery (WLS) and good luck with finding a caring physician and support group to help you on your journey. As you've read on the message board, so many people here in the U.S. have had horrible experiences due to their obesity. People can be so unkind and hurtful; I'm sorry you've had to endure insults, but life WILL get better. Best of luck with your endeavors; if you'd care to email, I'd love a pen-pal.
