removing the stigma through education
It is my desire to educate people about obesity, and more importantly
let more of the 15 million Americans who suffer from it, know there
is a cure. That involves not only removing the stigma of obesity but
also the stigma of weight loss surgery as being some easy way out.
It is nothing more than a medical fix for a medical problem, no
different than someone with blocked arteries from years of smoking
going in a hospital and getting angioplasty so they won’t drop dead
one day. It gives them a new chance at life, and no one ever
criticizes them for taking the easy way out. Yet when the obese seek
a medical cure, the same people who bothered them about their weight,
also down them for taking advantage of the best treatment. We all
must do our part to not only educate the obese but also the thin who
have no idea what our quality of life is like. Anyone who has had
surgery and speaks out openly and proud I think advances the cause
furhter.
