In the begining....

Well, this is a great tool to keep track of things isn't it? I'm glad I found this site. I never thought about doing surgery before because I never thought I was that fat. But apparently I am, and I think I have really known that all along.   To top all that off, I live in Portugal where obesity is not such a widespread problem. I actually almost fell out of my chair laughing yesterday at a doctor’s appointment. See by law here, if you work then you’re entitled to insurance through the government. Nice right... but that also means that once a year they get to send you to a doctor and run all kinds of test. It was this doctor that I was seeing. She asked me....Do you have any health problems. And my response was, well, other then my weight, no. And she said, ohh right, but that’s a characteristic of your people right? :omg: She was saying it’s a characteristic of Americans to be fat. After I finished laughing, I thought. Gezz....   Any way, it was her that suggested I get lap band surgery and it wasn’t until then that I seriously considered doing it. It seems to make a huge difference when a doctor suggests it. My husband is against it, he doesn't think I'm that fat and he says surgery should be a last resort. Well, I feel like I'm at the end of my rope. I'm 25 and I have been fat since I was about 6. I've been on pretty much every diet you can think of. Sometimes I loose, some times I don't. But one thing that is guaranteed, I gain it back plus some. I'm currently 5'5 and 242lbs. I didn't even realize how fat I was getting because we weigh in kilos here and 110kilos doesn’t sound like much, until I converted it.   Well, I have an appt with the bariatric doctor on the 24th, so we will see what he has to say. I'm sure I qualify my bmi is 40.3 and I have headaches and other pains. Not to mention I can't find clothes here in my size :phanvan , I'm always asking my mom to send me stuff from the states, but that gets expensive.   Well, that's it for now. Hugs and butterflies for every one.
