At 43 years old, I have spent more of my life overweight than I have not . I know I am obese. The picture I have of myself in my mind is a little heavy but certainly not obese! I suppose alot of us have the same type of image in our minds. This image conflits with what my body tells me in the way I move and generally feel. After years of telling myself that I should be able to manage weight loss on my own and not getting anywhere long term, I decided to make a call to a bariatric doctor. I need to keep telling myself that seeking help is not the same as turning myself over to someone else to "fix" me. I know logically that the surgery is a tool to allow me to help myself. I made the decision to start this journey early September 2008. I have had my initial visit with a local doctor.
