Hi,
I am 53 and 5'1". My BMI is 44. I have been fighting weight for about 22 years. Which is after I had my son. I have been on WW about 10 times lost about 20 pounds and then gained it back again. I was on LA weight loss and lost 14 pounds, then in about 4 months gained it all back and some. I now have diabetes type 2, have to use insulin, sleep apnea, have to use a cpap machine, and a number of other ailments I feel are weight related. I started going to Dr. Bonanni in February of 2007 because I was tired and still am tired of being fat and having all these illnesses. My body is actually to big for my small feet so now my feet hurt all the time. I can't wait to feel good again, start buying great new regular sized clothes and not feeling embarrassed about how I look. I want to start looking in the mirror and begin seeing the person, which is myself, that I like to look at, not turn away because I don't feel pretty or sexy anymore. I have had all my test, specialist consults and psychiatric evaluation. I am just waiting for my surgery date. I am so excited. I am tired of hurting....mentally and physically, especially physically.
