I've always had an issue with my weight, but since I stopped smoking in 2000 I gained about 10lbs and then I got sick and gained more weight. Since then my medical condition has not improved and with the meds I have to take and the lack of mobility, I have steadily gained and gained to now being in the morbidly obese category and 120lbs over my ideal weight. Through all this no one has mentioned my weight! My PCP would laugh at me when I would mention that I would like to lose weight. He would point out the meds and say it's really hard with these... I have been seeing a new endocrinologist and (finally!) she mentioned surgery to me last November and to think about it. My hubby is totally against it and says "we" can lose weight. Ha! he is struggling to lose the 20lbs he needs to. I have a new Rheumy and he also mentioned it this last visit and agreed that it would be a serious consideration. I am confused and looking for all advice and information I can to make the right choice for me but I am glad to have two doctors advising me to go for it.
