I have struggled with weight for as long as I can remember, I was always the "chunky" kid that turned into the "Big Guy" that everyone always compared other people too like he was about your size or he was even bigger than you etc. I talked to my doctor a few times over the course of years and he was always of the opinion that surgery was not a necessary option the I could do it on my own if I just committed to it. Well after nutrionists, weight loss centers, excercise plans and thousands of wasted dollars in over the counter meds I am finally able to start the journey I have wanted since the first time I was called " chubby" !
