Thanks, everyone. I'm trying to figure out my options. I have arthritis and back problems which interfere with exercising and have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I also have high blood pressure.

I am going to read your profile, Sugar's Mom and will be pm'ing a couple of you for more information.

I would like to know how to go about picking a surgeon. What criteria to ask about, etc.
