My Bariatric Life

(Profile)

In 2003, I made a decision that would forever change my life. Since that time, I have been following a program of lifetime obesity disease management to sustain long term weight loss.

Taking Drugs

I can understand this point of view, because I felt the same way when I was diagnosed. I'd been unusually healthy until then, and the only drugs I took were occasional antihistamines in hay fever season and the occasional... Read more Chevron
