    • Close Obesity

      I have been obese most of my life. I am finally able to go for gastric bypass, b ut I need to lose 40 pounds first. My weight goes up and down. I am trying to get my mind and emotions in check as well as my eating habits so that this surgery will work for me. I do not want to have to go through this and still not lose the weight or worse gain it all back.

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      hard to keep up with it.
      Weight Watchers Somewhat Helpful

      Xenical Not Working
