I have suffered with my weight from the age of 23. As soon as I hit that age I kept putting on weight no matter how hard I tried to keep it off. Obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure runs in my family so I know this is my last resort be be healthy and fit again. I just joined this site yesterday (Nov 18th 2010) and have only just begun my research. I have found a few surgeons in my area (Boston) but I can't seem to get a consultation with anyone until the beginning of May. Is this normal? I'd love some advice and support. I am 5ft2 and I weigh around 225. (I haven't weighed myself in a long time because it depresses me so I'm probably more than 225)! My friend had RNY surgery 2 years ago and she is the one who advised me to join this site for friends and support who are going through the same thing I am. I am looking forward to meeting YOU!
