Where do you buy large size clothes in Phnom Penh?

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

In all seriousness, jeebus, that's quite a few stone you lost. If I may, what was the health issue?
Yeah, the transformation is quite weird. I had non-responsive type 2 diabetes, which needed increasing amounts of insulin to manage (while still being type 2) and eventually stopped helping. I was on a medically supervised starvation diet in Australia and my endocrinologist worked very closely with me as one of his few "compliant" patients, but I still continued to balloon. As I was technically dying the decision was made to try an extract from the poisonous saliva of gila monsters which causes simulated pancreatitis, signalling to the body that you're about to die so have a last gasp at producing even a few drops of insulin.

Moving to Cambodia (and by God's grace, depending on your beliefs) saved my life. Different stresses, different lifestyle (although, as stated, already on starvation diet), different pollutants, higher class of dick-heads!

In my young twenties I played American Football, and I'm back down to my game weight for the first time in nearly 30 years, although it hangs a little differently these days.

Thanks for asking.
