Doing my homework for the week, I just ended a call with a medical weight loss center. Per my therapist, I was to call and get more information and possibly set up a consultation to consider my options for the remaining skin. I am not quite sold on the surgical options, but I was hoping that someone some where would have some tips. A game plan. I am not sure if she wants me to go in and hear someone say that I am not as bad as I think, or if she thinks that getting rid of the excess fat will help me emotionally. Either way, I did it. I made the call and I have learned a few things.
-My BMI is currently too low for them to safely "treat" me with their weight loss program. (hmm, I am not sure what I think about that.)
-Speaking to the doctor, I could get some injections of sorts to aid and speed up my weight loss. (I am not sure if the speed thing is what is bothering me. The progress is slow but I have come to terms with that.)
-I could do a body composition scan to see how much weight and muscle I have. Basically, how much junk I have left in my trunk. (That just sounds depressing.)
-My last question was asking who they refered their clients too when they had signifigant success with their program. The answer was both disturbing and enlightening. Her answer was that she did not really know. She could look into it for me but she has not had any clients with signifigant success or as much weight loss as mine.
Moral of the story, according to me....
Weight loss centers, pills, injections... none of that is effective as good old fashion exercise and clean eating. There is no magic solution after all. Even the ones that I turned to for help didn't really have a foot to stand on selling their solution. I guess that it is just a waiting game. Keep doing what I am doing because this is what works.
Interesting.
