Autonomy: I am going to assume that this is bodyfat and that you are not an extreme bodybuilder or sumo wrestler in elite training. This is serious obesity and you have a right to treatment that will help you look good, feel comfortable and avoid atherosclerosis, glucose intolerance, and the musculoskeletal complications. It is not too early to discuss bariatric surgery with your physician.
