I've lost and gained weight all my life ( 2 or 3 people at least  ) but I always gain it back and then some.
My husband was a tall, big boned man - and was morbidly obese. He died at 49 from a massive heart attack. I've decided I don't want to die that way. I've been afraid since he died that the same thing would happen to me and I just can't let that happen.
I want to have grandchildren and be a grandma. I want to watch them be born and grow up.
I have to do something to help myself, so I'm having the RNY. |
THE VERY BEST OF LUCK TO YOU ~~!!! My friend wants that surgery so bad and they turned her down (insurance) - I don't think it's right to decline something like this when it can save someones life. I'm so happy for you - I think if you feel this is for you then GO FOR IT !!!
PLEASE keep us posted and I'm here if you need to talk ~ what happened to your husband
(hugs) is NOT going to happen to you.
