Greetings from Guelph, Ontario
BMI 43 5 ft 4 in tall
Hoping to have surgery at Henry Ford Health Centre early 2007.
Approved by medical insurer for initial consult Dec. 2006
I was 7 years old when I discovered to my surprise that I was "fat". It had not occurred to me before and it wasn't a particularly negative realization. One of my classmates asked why I brought salads for lunch when everyone else had sandwiches. I didn't know. I just brought what Mom gave me. The teacher jumped into explain and from what she said, which I don't recall, I concluded fat people have to eat salads. Therefore I am fat. Pictures from my childhood do not confirm this. But from then on I felt fat. At 18 I weighed 150 lb but I felt fat and unacceptable and so it went. That which I feared I brought upon myself. With every decade I gained and lost and gained some more.
So I have spent thousands of dollars and lost hundreds of pounds and have dieted and exercised myself into morbid obesity and Type 2 diabetes. By chance or destiny I found on the American Diabetes website mention that weight loss surgery can halt the symptoms and eliminate the need for medication for many diabetics. So, here I am looking for a way to solve my weight issue once and for all.
