I am 37 years old and I am finally looking at my health with the right set of lenses on, and I need help. After having a hand surgery in November 2007 and weighing in at 275, I almost fainted on the nurse, I knew that 'managing' my weight problem is thoroughly beyond my control. I have a family history of parents with heart problems, diabetes, sleep apnea, asthma, etc. that creates a deep wrinkle on a doctor's face when I recite it and a cousin who is a successful RNY patient.
I have verified coverage by my insurance (thank goodness) and I am in the process of selecting a surgical program in the DC area. I appreciate any advice on selecting a surgeon or procedure.
Here's to having a happy story in place of this one someday soon!
