I am 22 with a BMI around 48-50. I have been overweight my whole life. I had my gallbladder removed in 2000 and the doctor said I had a fatty liver that will lead to future problems.
I don't have a record of past diets (never did them with a doctor), and I have not ever been diagnosed with with back pain or GERD even though I have them.
They said they need proof of being morbidly obese for 5 years. How do I get that?
