WInston223322 160 Posted April 11, 2020 For all of you out there that are on the fence let me tell you this! You have two choices - Choice one is to stay the way you are and get sick from being fat and die young ............... Or you can make the decision and get a surgery which is tool to get you healthy! My story At the age of 51 i decided I had played hard eneogh, Hard core partying drinking girls and of course a miserable diet of garbage food and carbs! I had a issue with my heart and ended up at Naples Cardiac ward! Laying on the table not knowing if i would ever see my two kids again and who would get them thru college and such I made the decision that if i make it thru this Heart Issue I would get healthy. As you can see I am posting so i did make it thru it. I then had the sleeve which was a tool to begin the journey! With this site and getting your head in line, anyone can do it! If anyone needs any help I am paying forward what many here have helped me so PM and I will mentor and help any way I can! You have to realize being overweight limits you and will kill you - It is not going to be a easy journey but the reward is well worth it - 5 2 DaisyChainOz, JRT Mom, Lynda486 and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New&Improved 1,780 Posted May 15, 2020 I hear exactly what you're saying mate. I'm only 35 but had alot of health issues prior to surgery. Did alot of parties and alcohol for years myself but gave that up for a new life and 8.5 months later with the bypass completely turned my life around as well.. In maintenance now Well done.
