Newbie Saying Hello

[MayraF]

Hello everyone! After reading the forums for a couple of weeks i have decided to register so i can be in touch with like-minded people

I have struggled with my weight since i was 13... i am 26 now and over the years i have tried every diet/club/pills under the sun and failed so over the past couple of years ( yes, i know, took me a long time to decide, it is a life changing decision ) i have been researching about WLS. I had spoken to my GP last year about it, and she was not very sympathetic, she dismissed my questions about it by saying, and i quote: "close your mouth and exercise". So today i am changing practices, and hopefully i will end up with a more open minded GP who will be able to help me. So fingers crossed and i will keep you all updated!

I look forward to hearing about your journey

Hi and welcome, congrats on taking control of your weight so young, it took me far longer, go and see another G.P dont give up at the first hurdle, or just keep pestering your own G.P let her know your not going to give up.
