Hi all,
my name is Carrielee and I am 31 years old.
I have battled being overweight / obesity since I was a young child and I’ve finally gotten the courage to taking the steps toward a healthier self.
At 31, I’m 5 feet tall and weigh 278 pounds, at a BMI of 54.29, it’s time to do this.
I suffer from a myriad of weight related health conditions and fear an early death if I don’t take control of my weight and health.
I suffer from acid reflux, hypertension, high cholesterol, Type II diabetes, arthritis, limited mobility, chest pain/angina, sleep apnea, liver disease...I’m slowly killing myself and I’m tired of it.
Any tips for a first consult with a WLS surgeon? My appointment is on April 25.
