Good for you, the risks are just as high for your health if you don't do anything at all. I am sorry to hear about your loss, but I do look forward to hearing about your weight loss and I'm sure your Uncle would love knowing he affected you in this positive way!

I am sorry for your loss. I had sceduled my surgery for June but I found out I had breast cancer and I had to have surgery and radiation, but my oncologist told me that I she was glad I was having surgery because being overweight is a big bc risk, So I resceduled for July, YES YES

Both my parents died a month and two weeks apart 6 years ago. My mom died of heart failure due to morbid obesity. Upon reading that on her death certificate I have been on this journey to have this surgery. The prize date is 7/22/13.

Once I lined up my ducks with the health insurance a year ago, nothing I do mean nothing is stopping me in reaching my goal For this assistance to have a healthier life.

So yes there are those of us that will do 'it' and as the results start to show and we no longer take meds for high blood pressure, or have to spend money on pose pads doing 'it' will have been worth it.

I am truly sorry for the loss of your loved one. Hang in there.

Continued success on your journey.
