Dr Recommends Gastric Bypass over lifestyle
I'm seeing a weight loss doctor and my endocrinologist on a regular basis. Today I'm with my endo. He hasn't seen me in 6 months.

405 lbs......need I say more?
At 405 lbs I HAVE to do something. So I started my Physician-assisted program again. Its Lipo injections, appetite suppressants, supplements and a low carb eating plan. Eating a smaller meal every 3 hrs and drinking lots of water are some of the key components. I know there are those of you who will tell me not to use…
