I know it is discouraging and I have been in your exact same position but honestly, it is amazing that you are taking control now. It will be a short-lived med for you! I started taking cholesterol meds around your age and still didn't do anything about it. I am 47 before I just had WLS and am so proud of you for making the decision so early in your life! You have 20 healthy years on me!

Thanks for the kind words Daisee! I just want to be healthy as soon as possible. Having my doctor put me on the highest doasage they can give to start made me really nervous. So glad i have the support!

The good news is your recognize the problem with that and you are young enough to do something now before you damage your body. Take it from someone who waited too long! I am 51 and have permanent damage from being obese since I was 26. Good luck on your journey!
