10 Feb My Name is Amy, and I Felt Helpless.
In May 2016, at age 41, I was at my highest weight ever, morbidly obese. I felt helpless. So I went to an information session held by a bariatric surgery clinic. They described the process leading up to the procedure, the surgery itself, and the expected results (and dangers). To be honest, I left feeling pretty terrified and defeated. I knew it wasn't for me, but I just felt forced to consider it. I knew I needed something radical, but what other option could there be? I honestly didn't know what else I could do....
