Nancy angel 0 Posted October 19, 2016 I have just joined and are beginning this journey. All i have done is go to a bariatric seminar. I couldn't find a doctor willing to take medicare. I appreciate all the encouraging posts. Twenty years ago my doctor strongly suggested weight loss surgery. I "chickened" out at the last minute. Now I am 68 years old, 60 lbs heavier and have many additional health issues. I am in pain, use oxygen, and cant do anything. I'm excited to start this journey!

I am so tired hurting, and everything else that goes along with the obesity BMI is 36 can't wait I know it won't be easy. But I know I can do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
