So you have thought about having weight loss surgery, but don't know where to start? Start with your family doctor. Having a candid conversation with your doctor can help you know and understand what being overweight means for your body. Many doctors tell you that you need to lose weight, but they don't get into details about what being over weight does to your body. Being overweight affects your joints, your circulatory system, your skin, etc. It's your whole life that gets affected.
Many of us go through the beginning of this process feeling at the very lowest they have ever felt. Many times the process begins with a seminar that you sign up for through whichever bariatric center your doctor refers you too. From there they will discuss with you about insurance approval. Then will begin the most intense and scary journey that you will face. It's a wild ride full of ups and downs, but it is truely life changing and the most amazing thing I have done for myself. :)
A good website to head to for more information is Obesity Help. Good luck beginning your journey!
