  1. I find it less helpful to hear about the journey of somebody who's under 250 and having the surgery. I've seen so many people just under 200 pounds having the surgery and I am horrified. I guess everybody's journey and reasonings are different. It just seems like such a drastic surgery and if I were 200 pounds I would be thankful… At least this point my life. But just to lose 50 pounds, I have a hard time wrapping my head around it.

      I was 220 with HBP, asthma, neuropathy, diabetes, knee replacement..... Unable to walk or exercise. You do not always know what health problems people have along with their 200 lb. weight.

      I applaud EVERYONE for their loss. Like I said, I understand everybody's journeys and reasonings are different… It just seems like such a 'drastic' measure to take if you're not morbidly obese. And, I do get more out of the The information, concerns, experiences, etc. of those closer to my own weight. Hearing from/about somebody at 200# losing 50# to get to their goal is very different than watching somebody who's my weight and needs to lose at least 150# if not more to...
