As with anyone who considers having a form of weight loss surgery. I have been morbidly obese all of my life.
I can not blame anyone else but myself for this damage but have exhausted every option to try and reverse the effects. With much failure I have turned to Gastric Bypass.
I am on the contrary the most active "Fat Person" one will meet. I hike, Bike, Swim, operate heavy machinery, camp, etc... I work on my feet 12-18 hours a day. Anyone who tells me I can not is proven wrong when I accomplish the challenge. However being morbidly obese has had its toll on my life....
I have sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and am pre diabetic. All I ever wanted to do was lounge around and my feet and ankles were constantly swollen. My knees were the size of grapefruits and work was becoming a struggle anymore.
